  • Chat with us-mental health

    As a mental health therapist, I deeply appreciate the spotlight on mental health and the normalization of therapy. I loved everyone’s insights, but wanted to highlight what Mandy said about going to therapy before feeling like you need to go to therapy. Often times, people come to therapy either as a last resort or when they’re already in crisis, but if more people sought out therapy as preventative care, imagine how that could change society. Mental health would be even more destigmatized. More... more

    This show has touched me in so many ways as it has so many other people. Your podcast is a lovely blend of memories and nuggets of knowledge. Sterling, I am sometimes hard on you about domineering the conversations but this mental health episode was outstanding. Thank you for all that each of you do!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Beginning of the End for Katoby | "The Hill" (609)
Q: So wait, we hear that this episode, nine of season six hit you in particular, and we wanted to get the skinny straight from your mouth. What's up?
Martha said the episode resonated with her and her husband, who watched the show together as new empty nesters. She particularly valued the scenes with Kate imagining the old Toby, and said the episode helped her accept that Kate and Toby's relationship had reached an impasse.
The Beginning of the End for Katoby | "The Hill" (609)
Q: And how did that hit you personally?
Martha said the story reminded her of returning to college after losing weight and becoming healthier. Friends worried that she seemed unlike herself because she had previously used humor to gain attention, much as Toby had relied on being goofy before his personal changes.
Caitlin Thompson and Us | Madison Simmons
Q: What do you remember about the scene and what do you remember about prepping for it?
Thompson said she was nervous because the scene felt like Madison's defining moment. She prepared extensively, came up with alternate approaches, and ultimately relied on that preparation to relax and perform the overlapping dialogue with confidence.
Caitlin Thompson and Us | Madison Simmons
Q: Are you a person who, once an idea comes, it flows fairly easily or does it feel laborious? Is it a combination of the two?
Thompson said she usually knows where a story starts and ends, then works out the middle. She needs a personal connection to the material and often collects ideas in her phone notes.
Kevin Does The Right Thing | "The Guitar Man" with Ryan Michelle Bathe (608)
Q: What do you put first when you have such a responsibility to the subject matter and to the episode's interconnected timelines?
Schnesel says the writers first write the story, then revise and trim it to respect the other episodes and keep the timelines aligned.
