There's this new generation of communicators about recovery that are not boring and stupid.
Ever felt overwhelmed by the flood of misinformation online, especially during a global crisis? In this episode of Bob Forrest's 'Don't Die Podcast', Bob, Chuk, and Mike tackle these very issues head-on. Recorded remotely due to the coronavirus pandemic, the trio dives into how COVID-19 has impacted mental health and society at large. They chat about the surge of internet trolls, fake news, and conspiracy theories that seem to be everywhere these days.
But it's not all doom and gloom; there's plenty of talk about the healing power of music too. From John Prine to Morrissey, they discuss which music icons should be sheltering at home and why their songs matter now more than ever. They also take a candid look at the lies spun by politicians and big pharma, questioning how these falsehoods shape public perception and healthcare policies.
With a mix of humor and heartfelt honesty, this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to navigate these challenging times with a bit more clarity and a lot more compassion. Whether you're grappling with addiction, seeking mental health support, or just curious about the intersection of music and society, Bob's unfiltered discussions offer a refreshing take on today's most pressing issues.
