An Open-Ended Discussion about Mental He...

REVOLUTIONARY LEFT RADIO
About this episode

David Icenogle (from No Chaser) returns to the show and joins Breht once again to have a frank, open-ended, wide-ranging discussion about their experiences and struggles with mental health. This is not meant as medical advice, nor scientific analysis; it is meant to simply be two human beings and close friends sitting down and discussing their direct experiences in the hope that it might resonate with, or otherwise provide comfort to, people out there who struggle with this stuff too.
