The Hilarious World of Depression
The Hilarious World of Depression was a biweekly comedy interview podcast distributed by American Public Media and hosted by the writer and public radio host John Moe. Regular episodes of the podcast feature Moe in conversation with comedians and other entertainers who have dealt with major depressive disorder, or "Clinny D" as Moe occasionally abbreviates it. The podcast was supported by grant funding from HealthPartners and "Make it OK," a campaign to reduce the stigma of mental illness. The end of the show was announced June 16, 2020. John Moe announced that he would be hosting a new podcast, Depresh Mode with John Moe, which is on the Maximum Fun website, and would cover additional mental health issues as well. The podcasts for The Hilarious World of Depression remain available online.
In May 2020, Moe released a book, also entitled The Hilarious World of Depression, which includes highlights from some of his interviews for the podcast as well as detailing Moe's own experiences with depression.
