Description

In this follow-up to their most popular episode, Adam and Brad discuss why it’s so difficult for bipolar patients to maintain friendships. Childhood friendships. The machines have taken over. When did your bipolar develop? Acting like a child while manic. Brad runs Micah off while manic. Pistachio crumbs. It's difficult to be vulnerable with another man. Brad runs DeVon off while manic. And Josh. Memory gaps. Pirate treasure. Driving naked. Brad runs Sian off while manic then walks 20 miles to the airport. Scars on your brain. That damn Batman podcast. Brad runs George off while manic. And James, then James died. And Nikki. Any time we get close to someone we know they'll hate us one day. Brad really hates lamps. The people who see that side of us and stick around. We're so tired of fighting this thing.

BatShit is a frank, funny, and no holds barred look at living with mental illness. Hosted by actor and comedian Adam Slemon, alongside screenwriter and comic Brad C. Hodson, BatShit covers topics ranging from how mental illness destroys relationships to how it affects creative and artistic works. The two hosts have both been diagnosed as bipolar and bring their unique backgrounds having dealt with this illness to the show with an irreverent, tongue firmly planted in cheek approach. Laughter, as they say, is the best medicine. Well, next to actual medicine. Seriously, take your pills.
