BatShit is a frank, funny, and no holds barred look at living with mental illness. Hosted by actor and comedian Adam Slemon, alongside screenwriter and comic Brad C. Hodson, BatShit covers topics ranging from how mental illness destroys relationships to how it affects creative and artistic works. The two hosts have both been diagnosed as bipolar and bring their unique backgrounds having dealt with this illness to the show with an irreverent, tongue firmly planted in cheek approach. Laughter, as they say, is the best medicine. Well, next to actual medicine. Seriously, take your pills.
