Comedian Joe List, of Tuesday’s with Stories fame, is the host of Mindful Metal Jacket, a comedy podcast that focuses on all things mental health and dealing with anxiety.
Mindful Metal Jacket is delivered in hushed tones and typically starts off with Joe reciting a quote from some Buddhist philosopher.
Each show, Joe is accompanied by a guest co-host, where they discuss experiences that contribute to their respective ongoing mental health challenges.
Mindful Metal Jacket is an interesting choice for a show title (undoubtedly an homage to one of List’s favorite movies), and despite being labeled a comedy podcast, the content is understandably somber.
While not packed with laughs, Mindful Metal Jacket provides deep insight into the minds of Joe List and friends, and I find it the perfect podcast to fall asleep to.
