This month marks the 20th anniversary of the beloved XO album by Elliott Smith. Smith lived with drug addiction and depression and ultimately, took his own life in 2003. We'll feature his music throughout the day on Tuesday, August 21st. We've also invited some experts and advocates to tell us how to support ourselves, friends and family who may be struggling with mental illness and how to remove the stigma around discussing mental health issues. We'd like to hear from you as well. Call 502-814-6560 and tell us about a song that's helped you deal with depression, dedicate a request in honor of a loved one or anything else you'd like to share. We may just use your comments and song suggestions on the air, August 21st!
