The DepresSelfish Podcast is a twice-weekly show hosted by a moderately-funny fellow who discusses not just his depression and ways to relieve it, but ways to change his own selfish behavior that's largely behind it... and it's all coated with a rich, chocolate-y layer of humor!

Don’t be confused in the beginning by my saying that the sun is streaming in the window and that my son is streaming in the living room (online). 2 different suns that stream in 2 different ways, baby. Anyway, today Nate discusses his novel in progress, Pepsi’s answer to him on the Gatorade fruit punch scandal, an eye-glazingly dull update on his s…
