Description
Yeah, But Are You Happy? is a podcast exploring the intersection between creativity and mental health, hosted by comedians Katie Stone & Lane Ingram.
Creatives can either glorify or stigmatize mental health, and every episode tackles a new topic related to these mentalities.
Katie & Lane each have their own interest in the intersection between creativity and mental health. Katie is living with bipolar II disorder while studying "creativity," and Lane is a therapist with HIS OWN BAGGAGE.*
Cody Dearing contributes sound production to early episodes, and Frankie Gerhards does our theme music.
