One of my favourite podcasts. I love the interesting interviews the guys have with guests and how they help people share their experience with sickness with a balance of seriousness and levity or comedy at the same time.

United Kingdoma year ago - Crude but informative
The earliest episodes are rough. Generally, the conversations are crude with too much profanity but they are also informative. Occasionally, the hosts seem intoxicated from substance use so the interviews are difficult for a sober person to understand.
