Patton Oswalt Talks About It Because It Happened

Welcome to Depresh Mode with John Moe. 


In this episode, John explains how he came to be in the unique
business of having open conversations about the kinds of mental
disorders that have been kept quiet for a very long time. He
welcomes in Patton Oswalt, who is one of the top comedians in the
country today as well as being a popular actor from films like
Ratatouille and Big Fan and tv series like King of Queens and AP
Bio. Patton explains the role of depression in his own life and
how his comedy is based on the things that fascinate and energize
him. Patton Oswalt’s wife, Michelle McNamara, passed away in 2016
and Patton explains how he took the worst moments of his life and
brought them to an audience.
