Episode 45: Hurricane Dumpster Fire

The Bar is Ankle High

This week we begin our series on Depression. It's a dense topic with LOTS of information out there so we get right into the nitty gritty with Garet taking the lead on research. The hosts share their own experiences with depression as they discuss different symptoms, causes, effects and manifestations of depression throughout their lives.
