About

Vincent Midgard was a first responder for over 25 years.

After battling severe depression, anxiety, and PTSD from both his job and life in general, he succumbed to a severe drinking problem.

However, after maintaining sobriety for about ten years, he found that his life still felt unfulfilled.

His favorite ways to pass the time included going to the gym, reading, and watching movies—particularly literature and film with dark subject matter.

Having been a fan of radio since childhood and podcasts since young adulthood, Vincent realized he wasn’t getting any younger and decided to launch The Dark Mind Podcast.

The podcast went through two iterations before he finally recorded his first guest-format episode on June 1, 2022.

Since then, he has published an episode every Tuesday without missing a single week.

What started as therapy for his PTSD has now transformed into an all-consuming passion.
