This podcast is so great! So real and so raw! I love how the truth of the illnesses are shown but yet in a way that is not demeaning at all and with a bit of humor! Great job
Michelle and Gabe have a great flow together! There’s a definite mix of teasing and supporting each other in a way that demonstrates a genuine friendship. It’s wonderful to both hear about the challenges of mental illness that fascinate us, while also realizing that people with mental illness are no different than most. Love love love this podcast!!
I’ve followed Gabe Howard’s mental health advocacy since he started. I’ve enjoyed reading his blogs, listening to his podcasts with Vince, and watching the live recovery stories on Facebook. I was present the live where he first interview Michelle and when I found out they were making a podcast together, I was excited.Stop what you are doing right now and listen to this series, you will not be disappointed! Both hosts are entertaining on their own, but together there is magic. Not only was it genuinely entertaining, I also learned more about our hosts experiences living with bipolar and schizophrenia (I had no idea).I can’t wait for the next episode to post!
As a long time fan of Mr. Howard’s work, I never thought anyone could keep up with him. He’s quick witted, engaging, and intellegent. This show is cohosted by Michelle Hammer and she has to be the younger, female version of Gabe. She is equally quit witted and charismatic and when Gabe dishes it out she catches it, balls it up, and throws it back — hard. I laughed out loud more than once. Excellent and entertaining. Great job, Psych Central! 🙂
