The free, online recovery event will air September 23 at 7 p.m. ET on Workit Health's YouTube channel.
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Workit Health, the nation's most trusted provider of online treatment for substance use disorders, today announced an upcoming exclusive live interview featuring comedian Margaret Cho and Dave Manheim, host of the acclaimed Dopey Podcast. The virtual event will stream live on Workit Health's YouTube channel on September 23 at 7 p.m. ET and is free and open to the public.
Margaret Cho is an icon in comedy, television, and advocacy whose trailblazing career spans over three decades. Renowned for her fearless humor, Cho tackles identity, mental health, addiction, and recovery, consistently breaking down barriers surrounding historically stigmatized topics.
With often radical candor and ready wit, Cho brings a very human vulnerability to discussions about trauma, body image, and healing, creating space for authentic conversations about survival.
Interviewing Cho is Dave Manheim, creator and host of the Dopey Podcast—a celebrated podcast about addiction and recovery that showcases the "dark comedy of drug addiction." With nearly 600 full episodes and well over 9 million downloads, Manheim has cultivated a passionate grassroots community known as "the Dopey Nation" through humorous, raw, and important conversations about addiction, recovery, and grief.
"People in addiction recovery want to hear real talk—not clean, tidy PSAs," says Workit Health's Senior Community Manager Maxim Backer. "In our communities, it's common to find comfort and connection through dark humor and raw honesty. Both Dave and Margaret are known for their willingness to push those boundaries."
This broadcast marks the second interview collaboration of its type between Workit Health and the Dopey Podcast, following a successful featured event with author Amy Dresner in June 2026.
