Episode 44: Bojack Horseman the cartoon horse teaches us everything about mental illness (with Annie Ware)

Join Steph and her oldest friend, the gorgeously insightful Annie Ware, as they dissect as much of the psychological meaning behind Netflix's iconic animated series Bojack Horseman, created by Raphael Bob-Waksberg and Lisa Hanawalt. Can a series centring on a toxic male cartoon horse really convey a plethora of mental illnesses with a level of nuance and realism we've not seen before? Find out as we managed to tackle all (most) of its themes in 90 minutes!
