It's the 2026 Broken Brain Halloween special!

Izzy & Dwight are talking about Mad Monster Party, a Rankin-Bass Halloween movie (whaaaat?)

Listen to every precious moment of us talking monsters, mayhem, and all forms of silliness to help usher in the Spooky Spirits of the Season!

I am a huge fan of The Because Organization, and all of their hard work helping survivors of Human Trafficking to build successful, healthy, and happy lives after escaping severe exploitation and abuse. Every year they join the podcast to talk about their good work AND the ways you can help. Marcia Holt and Mary Beth Ford join me today to talk about individualized help for survivors, how Because does their work, and the annual virtual walk/run to raise funds.

Join the cause by walking or running this month! Register at www.becauseorganization.org

Meg Boberg is a friend, mental health advocate, and a fellow Bipolar-haver. It's been a while since she's been on the show, but we often kick around ideas for recordings. Speaking of ideas, we're talk about our experiences with racing thoughts, hypomania, and mood irregularity.
