Why Everyone Should Listen to This Queer Mental Health Podcast
My former professor Dr. Wyatt Hermansen and their partner, singer Mary Lambert, have collaborated in a podcast that is my new obsession. As two people with bipolar disorder, their show is fittingly called “The Manic Episodes.” I am slightly biased in writing a good review for their podcast since Dr. Hermansen was one of my favorite professors during my time at Westfield State University. Despite this, I firmly believe people with mental disorders would get a lot out of the couple’s firsthand lens on their multilayered identities as they cope with mental disorders and chronic pain, and move through the world as queer and fat in a world that favors mentally stable, straight, skinny people.
