TRANSCRIPT HERE
Today Steph welcomes back Dr Elise McGlashan to chat deeply about one of her favourite TV shows, Please Like Me. The creation of one of Australia’s beloved comics, Josh Thomas, Please Like Me delves deeply on many mental health issues, including Bipolar Disorder, depression, anxiety, grief, suicide, self harm, as well as abortion, friendship and sexuality. But somehow it is also hilarious??? Join us as we assess how well Josh depicts these topics, and how much he reminds Steph of her husband.*
Please note we recorded this episode a few months back, it is no longer hot :( Also Debra Lawrence (Josh’s Mum) is now on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!
*if you know Michael you know this is true.
CONTENT WARNING: ***Suicide, suicidal ideation, self harm**, panic attack, grief, sex, abortion, death, hospitalization, depression, anxiety, ableism.
