Comedian Sierra Katow on Big Time Achievement and Persistent Depression

Just because someone’s depressed, doesn’t mean they can’t achieve
great things. Just because someone can achieve great things,
doesn’t mean they aren’t depressed. You may already know these
facts, especially if you’ve been listening to our show doe a
while, but they bear repeating because they can be easy to
forget. Sierra Katow has a new standup special, her first, called
Funt (referring to the Fun Aunt she hopes to be) and she joins us
to talk about the depression that has been there since she was a
kid and which she’s had to work to manage ever since. It’s an
honest and very funny conversation.
