A NOTE TO OUR LISTENERS:

In light of the recent revelations about JewWario, we have opted to remove the header image as well as the links in the show notes. However, we have decided not to remove the episode itself. While it was spurred on by JewWario’s suicide, it isn’t really about him so much as it is about suicidal thoughts as well as struggling with depression. We feel that the message we were trying to convey in this episode is still of vital importance, regardless of our reasons for recording it in the first place.

Made Of Fail stands with the victims, and we encourage our audience to donate to RAINN in solidarity.

-Dayna and George, 4/13/18

SHOW NOTES

This is an episode about depression and suicide. It was spurred on by the recent death of Justin “JewWario” Carmical, who took his own life last Thursday night. Given that both George and I suffer from suicidal depression, we felt we needed to talk to our listeners about it. We hope it helps someone, somewhere. -Dayna
