About this listen

 Stark Raving is a dramatic nonfiction podcast that delves into how we see mental health through the media we consume, specifically the films we watch and how they were influenced by history and literature. Through award winning films like One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, The Shining, The Exorcist, and more, we'll explore the horror with which we view the mentally ill and how that has affected treatment, living conditions and the basic human rights of those people society rejects.
