When The Ticker Is A Bit Thicker: Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM)

Sickboy is the only place where terminal diagnoses can peacefully coexist with jokes we probably shouldn't make. Hosted by three best friends, Jeremie, Brian, and Taylor, this show smashes taboos around illness, death, and everything in between. Inspired by Jeremie’s life with Cystic Fibrosis, we dive headfirst into the uncomfortable, the hilarious, and the heartbreaking. We talk to people living with everything from chronic disease to catastrophic injury, mental health struggles to medical miracles - and we do it with radical empathy, zero BS, and the kind of unfiltered jokes that get us kicked out of support groups. If you’ve ever felt weird, broken, or like no one gets it, welcome. New episodes drop every Wednesday. Pull up a seat; it’s gonna get real. Follow Sickboy on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sickboypodcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> &amp; <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@sickboypodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok</a>!
