Mike Studley is one of my oldest friends.  A neighborhood kid. We used to ride bikes together. Our paths have diverged since, and while I was off dealing with my own mental health issues, Mike has been on a decades-long struggle with addiction.  But, he's still here. He's sober. He's funny as shit and I loved our talk.  Please continue to spread the word about this show. Drop a review if you can! It really helps.  <a rel="payment" href="http://patreon.com/lightersidepodcast">Support the show</a>

The Essential Lighter Side: Recovery in a Pandemic

It started as a weight loss podcast, which quickly became a mental health podcast, which somehow became a pandemic podcast.  Jay, your host  (anxiety/depression/OCD/childhood trauma/family addiction)  lost 185 lbs after having bariatric surgery.  Guests have ranged from actor Ken Marino to a woman you have never heard of who lost 250 lbs, to a recovering addict, to essential workers during COVID-19. In 2020, the show became daily and ran for 100 episodes in 100 days. The culmination of everything The Lighter Side strove to be, Jay created an oral history of the pandemic, as told through the voices of the people who lived through it. There's something for everyone on the Lighter Side.
