Latest Episodes

Robin's health is in decline and he is soon diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. On August 11, 2014 he takes his life, but the circumstances that drive him to this tragic end are not what we earlier thought to be true.

Robin caps off 20 years in show business with an Oscar-winning performance, but this is a brief high that can't last. A series of career duds and personal tragedy push Robin back into the depressive and addictive tendencies he's never fully addressed... more

This week, we sit down with comedian Chris Gethard to talk about performing improv with Robin and the stigma of the depressed artist.

  • Very disappointing. Can I have my 30 minutes back please. I’d give it zero stars all around. So much about about. Waiting to hear from people who really knew him.

    I didn’t know a lot about Robin Williams before diving into this podcast, having grown up with him in roles in movies like Aladdin or Mrs Doubtfire. This podcast served to draw back the curtain and explore the life he had that was often complex, messy and full of turmoil. While there were issues with sound quality and some of the conversation was meandering, I enjoyed the sincerity of the podcast overall.

    I’m so distracted by trying to understand how the host can seem to be both over- and under-enunciating at the same time. She’s seriously awful.
