from The Joe Jackson Interviews · host Joe Jackson Productions

Despite the relatively light-hearted title of this podcast, neither Irish stand-up comic Tommy Tiernan nor myself, treat teenage depression with anything with the utmost seriousness. Here, in this fragment from an interview, we did nearly twenty years ago, Tommy talks about how the "shadow was born" in his own psyche.
