One final note, in case it wasn’t clear, the Podband that sometimes pop up in episodes and in the jingles aren’t real. You can’t go see them in concert. They’re an AI creation. Isn’t that mind-blowing?!?

🎙️🚨SPOILER ALERT!🚨🎙️

Julie Goodwin is in again after something BIG happened on Dancing With The Stars last night! If you haven't watched it yet (and you're going to) - avoid this until you're done! We also have a chat about a couple of videos we've both had to take down from online, and discuss the struggle with being on-air during the Olympics. 🤣

Trigger Warning

This episode delves deeply into the topic of mental health. As someone who deals with anxiety daily, I believe it’s crucial to discuss these issues openly, so others know they’re not alone.

If you’re not in a good mental space, you might consider skipping this episode. Alternatively, please visit Head to Health for support and resources.

In this episode, we meet Andrew, who shares his story of losing his wife to suicide 20 years ago when they had a 2-year-old daughter. Andrew describes the morning he found his wife in the first few minutes of our conversation. This segment is graphic and can be skipped by jumping to 8:33 into the episode.
