Welcome to Mad Tea, where madness isn't a diagnosis—it's a cultural identity. Hosted by artists and advocates Matt Bodett and Megan Sterling, this podcast explores the histories, voices, and experiences that psychiatry has often silenced. From the haunting legacy of Dunning Asylum to the radical traditions of mad pride, each episode challenges the medicalized narratives of madness and reclaims it as a source of power, creativity, and resistance.
Mad Tea isn’t just a conversation; it’s an invitation—to rethink history, embrace divergent minds, and take your place in a community where madness speaks for itself.
