The transcript below has been edited for length and clarity. He shifted his creative efforts towards hip-hop, believing the genre was the best medium to communicate his perspective. In 2020, Jim began hearing voices, which opened his eyes to what he terms a genocide against neurodiverse people. Later, he turned to the arts to speak out publicly about his experiences with the mental health system through performing stand-up comedy under the pseudonym Flim Jannery and now through music with his new album, “ Sorry, It’s Not Funny,” which will be released on Friday, October 14. There he received the best care available in the modern world… torture, which included seclusion, restraints, forced drugging, coercion, and a psychiatric diagnosis. This week on the Mad in America podcast, we are joined by activist and artist Jim Flannery.īorn and raised in suburban Weathersfield, Connecticut, Jim was committed at four mental hospitals across the United States.
