The Big Bang Theory actor Mayim Bialik has a lot to say in her podcast series Breakdown that tackles topics related to mental health with takes from popular names
Mayim Bialik
Mayim Bialik has almost mastered the art of asking the right questions. When presented with a set of guests to interview, predominantly Hollywood-types that grace covers and walk down red carpets, many shows and their hosts might succumb to the temptation of throwing entirely gossip-related questions at them. But not Bialik. In her weekly podcast series titled Breakdown, Bialik along with co-creator Jonathan Cohen, aims to shake this narrative up a bit, inviting guests to share their experiences with mental health, in an open, honest and extremely vulnerable manner.
Bialik is no stranger to such topics, as she makes abundantly clear throughout the series. Before her stint on the TV sitcom The Big Bang Theory, she secured her PhD in neuroscience, which we feel shapes several of her interesting perspectives in each episode. The first episode we discovered of the series was an in-depth chat with actor Oliver Hudson, son of popular actor Goldie Hawn and brother of Kate Hudson. We have only good things to say about this episode, mostly because of how increasingly raw and vulnerable the conversation got. Bialik digs into Hudson’s experiences with his family, how growing up with famous parents and siblings shaped his childhood and what effect it eventually had on his mental health and relationships. The episode had no mention of otherwise arbitrary gossip or scandals.
