Today's featured episode is from a show that is completely different from Sorry About The Murder. This one isn’t a quaint story about cute characters. It’s actually pretty hardcore. It’s raw, brutally honest, insanely dark at times, but also laugh out loud funny, sometimes all at once. 

It’s called Sick Man Talking. And that’s what it is. Brad Cartner is a man wracked with innumerable pains and aliments who has been trying to stay sane all these years by recording his thoughts. And now some good friends are helping him turn it into a podcast series.

Each episode is wildly different in subject and tone: In one he talks about his obsession with Elvis. Another is a series of adorable messages he left to his best friends kids over the years. Another is a live chronicle of a hospital ward. To be honest I still haven’t worked up the nerve to listen to that one.

It’s not for the faint of heart. But it’s maybe the most human podcast I’ve ever listened to. 

In the episode we have for you today, Brad tells a darkly hilarious story about his first kidney stone, he talks about AI, and recalls a spiritual experience he had while being stretchered out of his apartment.

Sick Man Talking is available on all the podcast apps including this one.
