Episode 178: Episode 178: “Wellmania” and Idealized Wellness


Listen Later

Tawny and Lisa talk about the Netflix series, “Wellmania,” starring Celeste Barber. The show knocks down the idea that a fad diet or a stay at a spa will get us “well.” It’s also a realistic portrayal of the panic attacks and blacking out from anxiety that many of us have experienced. They also talk about John Mulaney’s stand-up comedy special, “Baby J.” Stories that make them think, “that used to be me,” are cathartic and a good reminder of why they stay sober.

 

Music Minute features the Wellmania soundtrack, Bo Burnham's Inside, and Matchbox 20.
