Om Podcasten

The MANIA Podcast, hosted by poker legend Daniel Negreanu and former TV Poker Host and Radio Personality Amanda Negreanu, pulls back the curtain on the raw, unfiltered reality of living with bipolar disorder. The duo, who reconnected years after their initial meeting and later married, share jaw-dropping stories of manic highs, devastating lows, and the rollercoaster ride of navigating relationships, mental health, and life in the public eye. From explosive personal revelations to eye-opening discussions about stigma, therapy, and survival, this podcast isn’t afraid to tackle the topics that others shy away from. Daniel and Amanda bring humor, heart, and hard-hitting truths to every episode, creating a space where no subject is off-limits. Don’t miss the chaos, the connection, and the candid moments that will leave you talking long after the episode ends. Follow @themaniapod on all platforms!
