"Post Meridiem" is an unreliable audio memoir of madness that occurred in Los Angeles County between June and September 2009. From the bewildering cast of a state-run psychiatric hospital to the horrific exhibits of the Museum of the Morbid, Dan Lauer searches for comfort and solace from a severe depression-driven psychotic break from reality in all the wrong places. Despite the harsh realities of most of the situations and the explicit descriptions of suicidal ideation, major depression, psychotic hallucinations, delusional thinking, and general despair, remember: there is no reason this can't be funny.
Dan struggles through his last night in LA before leaving for Florida and does his best to make peace and find answers before he touches down on the other side.
