The Mentally Oddcast returns — with guest Rev. Josh Hosler!

The Mentally Oddcast returns for a sixth season! My friend and colleague Wednesday Lee Friday recently released a new episode of her intriguing podcast, which examines creative processes through the lens of addiction, recovery, mental and emotional health, trauma and treatment.

It is always a superb show, and her guest this week was Reverend Josh Hosler — a smart, articulate, funny and humble man with a variety of compelling insights. (You can find the episode right here on Zencaster and also here over at Spotify.) Wednesday and Reverend Hosler chatted about a number of subjects, including the differences among communities of faith — and how they may be positioned to help vulnerable people.

I think Wednesday was born for broadcasting. You might know her as an accomplished horror author and a leader in the independent literature community; The Mentally Oddcast is an outgrowth of her ongoing indie lit magazine, Sometimes Hilarious Horror. Wednesday can discuss topics from politics to zombie movies with humor and uncanny acumen, so her show is always a lot of fun.

Do check it out.



Sometimes Hilarious Horror debuts its new podcast, Mentally Oddcast.

If you have any interest at all in the creative mind, then you must check out Wednesday Lee Friday’s fascinating new podcast, Mentally Oddcast.  The show launched its inaugural episode tonight with guest Ryan N. Wilcox, a media expert  with the University of Michigan.  You can find it right here.

The show is great stuff.  Wednesday’s goal for her program will be to examine how creative people of all kinds can be influenced by mental illness, addiction, neurodivergence or trauma.  Mentally Oddcast is a project of her online horror magazine,  Sometimes Hilarious Horror, which you can find right here at Ko-Fi.

Episode one sets the tone and the goals for the podcast series, with Wednesday and her guest discussing topics as diverse as tolerance, toxic fandom, gatekeeping and binge-watching shows.  This looks to become an engaging and truly insightful ongoing series; I cheerfully recommend it.  🙂
