Landis’s self-described descent into “madness” is unveiled through emails dating back to 2010-2012.

This was an era before #MeToo and before measures in American society began being taken to increase suicide awareness and prevention while reducing the stigma of discussing suicide.

For the Valentine’s Day Special of The Wendy Variety Podcast, Wendy Fink and Marcus Rayford start off the episode portraying disgruntled (but sexy) radio hosts who take a call from Steph Jurusz (published essayist, masters in non-fiction writing) who discuss the commercialized BS of the holiday with them.
