Danger to Self: On the Front Line with an ER Psychiatrist

In the ER psychiatric ward in San Francisco's busiest hospital, murder threats aren't quite as rare as you might think. Every day, mental health specialists make decisions to keep us safe from ourselves and others, but sometimes the tables get turned . . . Producer Roman Mars interviews Dr. Paul Linde, author of "Danger to Self: On the Front Line with an ER Psychiatrist," the book that inspired this radio show.

Narrated by Glynn Washington.

The Ghost Train

You know the story of the Ghost Train? The G Train. Does it exist or doesn't it? Producer Mark Ristich shows just how desperate NYC mass transit can make you. Here's to all those waiting on platforms reading "Tell Me How Long the Train's Been Gone."


The Kid Runs

Great track. I really like this track. i like Beating Las Vegas and 5150 one. I think they should use some Video maker and then make videos and convert these audio songs to video. You can place awesome pictures in the background and see then how it will works ??
These songs will be rocking with Cool backgrounds ;)

These were all interesting stories of people with "mental illnesses". My favorite were the stories from the emergency room phychiatrist. Mental health is definitely something to take seriously. You made me view mental health a different way than I had thought about it before.

Absolutely loved this program, listened to it while I was sitting outside of the ED where I work, on a break from caring for a couple of my 5150's. I have been fast approaching a 5150 myself trying to find the music from "The Kid Runs" segment...pleaaase, pleeease post, at least, this music segment (if not all - because they're all fantastic). Before I become 5250! Love, love the show.

5150 was non-stop entertainment, right out of the box. Fantastic music and beautifully edited. And the stories were chilling, humorous, and moving, sometimes all at once. Everything radio could and should be - you had me on the edge of my seat, hanging on every word!

I also like the 5150 radio program, this is full of non-stop entertainment. I listen to it where-ever I go weather it is in my office desk or at home. I do not miss it. Beautifully edited fantastic songs makes my mind free from any tension. I also want to dedicate the song in this program but, I don't know where and how to reach up to you.Actually, I work on voip phone systems and as it is related to technology, I have to be updated with every single information happening around city and in this your program is mine favorite one.
