Podcast Research

For this project I decide to go with the topic of Mental Health as I think this still a taboo in our society. For this task I have found a few podcast about the topic, Mental Health. However, one just catch my attention because of the fact that has some humour related. And I think this the best way to see some topics and discuss them more lightly. Adding humour to a serious topic does not mean that we are joking with the topic or taking the serious part of this. I guess, it could be an easy way to demystify and reach more people. 

The Hilarious World of Depression is all that I have explained above. An easy and funny way to explore a topic. Otherwise, a complex topic as Mental Health with episodes of 45 minutes could not be that interesting. Is not all about jokes, in between the lines exists always a reason for the way things are said. 

"The Hilarious World of Depression is not medical treatment and should not be seen as a substitute for therapy or medication. But it is a chance to gain some insight, have a few laughs, and realize that people with depression are not alone and that together, we can all feel a bit better" (The Hilarious World of Depression, 2022).

John Moe is the host and the creator of the podcast. He is a a humorist, a radio host and a writer. The podcast has also some guests. This people are mostly comedian and they have been dealing with the disease. 

The podcast as music in between the different topics that John approaches. With different tones in each episodes or in one conversation.
