BatShit

We have 2 episodes devoted to Listener Questions, but as our audience grew and we started receiving more and more questions, we created a regular type of bonus episode we call BATSHIT BADASSES.

Dropping semi-regularly on Fridays, Batshit Badasses not only answers listener questions, but shares the stories and struggles of our some of listener.

Why Batshit Badasses? Because anyone who suffers from a mental illness and keeps fighting is a fucking badass.

As Carrie Fisher said in Wishful Drinking:

“One of the things that baffles me (and there are quite a few) is how there can be so much lingering stigma with regards to mental illness, specifically bipolar disorder. In my opinion, living with manic depression takes a tremendous amount of balls. Not unlike a tour of Afghanistan (though the bombs and bullets, in this case, come from the inside). At times, being bipolar can be an all-consuming challenge, requiring a lot of stamina and even more courage, so if you’re living with this illness and functioning at all, it’s something to be proud of, not ashamed of. They should issue medals along with the steady stream of medication.”
