Wondery is launching a brand new series of award-winning podcasts. How do you deal with it? Hosted by comedian and broadcaster John Robbins.
A podcast previously commissioned by the BBC watches Robbins meet famous special guests and talk about how he overcomes mental and physical hurdles as he navigates his daily life.
Each week, guests share a deep, personal story with John.
Whether you discuss sadness, anxiety, or the daily stress of modern life, how do you deal with it? It provides listeners with insights and related stories to remind listeners that they are not alone in the struggle. The podcast creates a collaborative space for listeners to learn, laugh, and find comfort in shared human experiences.
The first series saw guests including Joe Wicks, Amanda Knox, Justin Hawkins and Chris McCausland.
John Robbins commented: .
“The world of wellness, especially online, can be a mixed mix of terminology and memes.
“It's great that you have time to talk to people at length and don't feel the pressure to provide wisdom in a 30-second clip.
“Understanding ourselves isn't always pretty. We don't always portray us from a positive perspective, and the integrity, candidness and time that my guests have shared with our listeners. I am very grateful.”
Podcasts Director Chris Baughen said:
“John's warmth, humor and empathy bring out the best of his guests, digging deep into their personal challenges and how they overcome them.”
How do you deal with it? It will be released on Townery+ on February 17th, and a bonus episode will be released on February 20th. The series will launch on February 24th on all other podcast services, with bonus episodes available on February 27th. Episodes are released every week.
