Description

If we are trapped inside these stupid human suits, we should at least be able to control them, right? Not so much. This week, comedian and writer Sam Grittner joins us to talk about depression, drugs, suicide and all the ways we try to exact control over these lives and bodies.

Never be afraid to ask for help. If you are struggling with thoughts of suicide, please call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-8255.
