SXSW 2023

Has Podcasting Answered our Mental Health Crisis?

Description:

About 22% of Americans have reported symptoms of depression in the last week. It’s no surprise that mental health has declined inline with ongoing world issues, pandemics, increased access to news, and the list goes on.

Podcasts have risen to the occasion. Free, easy to access, and available anytime, anyplace, — mental health podcasts have become the #1 podcast genre. Join us as we explore the podcast as a therapy phenomenon, how it started, and where it’s going next.
