Listeners sometimes ask what's been the most popular episode of Scream Therapy through the years. Well, one episode stands way above the rest. That's episode 40 with Amy Taylor of breakout Aussie punk band Amyl and the Sniffers. When Amy came onto the podcast in 2021, Amyl and the Sniffers were an upstart band with a dedicated following, but they weren't playing stadiums like they are now. Over the past few years, the band has gotten bigger and bigger, and the number of ears on Amy's episode grew and grew. So, here it is, another listen to Episode 40: Amy Taylor of Amyl and the Sniffers on Self-care and Mental Health! REPLAY: Host Jason Schreurs talks to Amyl and the Sniffers vocalist Amy Taylor about keeping mentally healthy at home and on tour.
