Gary Gulman Is Feeling Much Better
Depresh Mode with John Moe
The Benefits of Listening to Bollywood Music
Jackie and Lori have had a lot of big name guests on this year. The bonus content for all the shows like Lori and I did a live Q&A with our with our fans over zoom is our bonus episode. We talked to you the listeners it's an all listener show that we called what works for me.
What is it like to feel better in your mental state? And what does it take to get there and to stay that way? Those are some of the questions we ask in this interview with the great comedian Gary Gulman. Gary sounds very different than when John Moe first interviewed him back in the fall of 2017 when Gary had been hospitalized for depression and was just beginning to turn things around. We hear about how he convinced himself to begin a very kind and manageable exercise regimen, how he tended to his nutrition, and how he took a pretty radical approach to saying yes to just about every opportunity that came his way, even when that meant having lunch with audience members who asked on the day after a show.
From this episode, host John Moe says, “We spend a lot of time on this podcast talking about what it’s like to feel terrible. Because it’s good to know that and people can relate and feel less alone. We carry each other’s load. But I thought it would be good to also hear about what recovery can sound like.”
