It’s a little hard to describe Paul Gilmartin.
He's worked as a stand-up comic. He makes furniture. And he's a maternal abuse survivor.
To add to that, he was one of the first hosts of the TBS show Dinner and A Movie. In fact, he hosted that show for years – and people still recognize him when he’s out and about!
But his life has moved in many directions.
Since 2011 however, he’s been the host of the Mental Illness Happy Hour podcast – where he interviews all kinds of people – occasionally a mental health professional. And he encourages folks on the podcast to be as honest as they’re ready to be – about things that many have a struggle with revealing.
