Silly Whales!
Silly Whales is a mental health podcast. Silly Whales is definitely not a hidden title for what ”SW” actually means... Meet close friends Alex Cupid and Joe as they discuss and effectively journal their journeys through mental health and illness. Mid life crisis during your mid twenties...Yeah, they’ve reached that point.
