Show overview

Insane In The Men Brain has been publishing since 2019, and across the 7 years since has built a catalogue of 354 episodes, alongside 21 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 350 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence, with the show now in its 9th season.

Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 55 min and 1h 8m — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue.

Comedians Rich Wilson and Esther sit down for a wildly entertaining chat that zigzags through marathons, holiday horrors, more marathons, podcasting nightmares, some more maratho0n running, and the kind of health issues that make you question if your should just stay indoors.

Expect clairvoyants who couldn’t predict a bus and brutally honest takes on ADHD, anxiety, and the fine art of trying to function like a real adult.It’s deep, it’s hilarious, it’s occasionally therapeutic—and probably cheaper than actual therapy.Esther’s new show ‘Slagbomb’ takes a nosedive into the awkward sandwich years of life. The phase when youthful freedom gives way to the reality of adult responsibilities.https://www.esthermanito.co.uk Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
