Good show, WAY ignorant about mental health

“I like Homeland, and this podcast does a decent job of discussing the show. What is said about bipolar disorder is incredibly assumption-based and ignorant, however. Clare Danes is incredibly gifted, but that doesn't mean her bipolar character is accurately depicted. I especially resented quotes on this podcast like "'They' don't like to take their medication." Referring to all people with bipolar. Not only is that WAY inaccurate (not every person with bipolar experiences a euphoria as part of the dysthymic cycling back and forth from rage & despair to mania; many people feel the depression-phase for more than 98% of the time and they are grateful pretty much solely for some of the medications which make their lives almost bearable), but it is a huge generalization about a diverse and largely non-homogeneous population. The hosts of this podcast should have known better. Homeland is brilliant because of the questions it raises about spying, the intelligence community, politics vs policy, and terrorism, but it does NOT have a reputation for being a show about people managing mental illness. No one would ever work in the CIA building premises without a psych clearance, and you can't hide bipolar. The very premise of Homeland is flawed- and yet, truthfully it doesn't make me love it any less. I'm only raising the issue because of how it's been handled on this podcast. In sum, I plan on continuing to listen to this podcast as long as the hosts stay within their relegated professional specialties. Thank you.”

“I love listening to this podcast. It came in handy last week while I was in line for 45 minutes waiting to vote. I miss Jenna's drunk purchases segment that she did in previous Afterbuzz podcasts (Eureka & True Blood).”

“Re: Saul fighting to stay in the van. I believe it was his way of trying to let Carrie & Co know that something was terribly wrong. And of course, we see the child in the vest thereafter.
I loved last weeks podcast with just the guys. It was full of insight and conversation. That said, I suppose...”Read full review »
