The title calls for your attention: “You, Me and My Mental Illness.” It’s a new podcast by NAMI Maryland -- the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Its creator, former WYPR reporter and journalist Mary Rose Madden, describes it as “Portraits that show what it’s like to live with a mental illness and how it reshapes relationships." The first season features Remy, 17, and her mother Joy.
Joy and Mary Rose Madden join us to talk about the podcast.
