Joe Ryan Podcast

This is the pilot episode for a new kind of podcast brought to you by Joe Ryan: the Suicide Watch Podcast. We need desperately to de-stigmatize both suicide and mental illness in the United States so may this confessional first episode be the first step. Topics include the recent suicides of Anthony Bourdain, but also Chris Cornell and Kate Spade. Joe then shares details of his own experience as a suicide survivor and a person with depression. Please follow along, and also send emails and tweets, and we can all build this show together!
