by Alicia Racine Fink
Xanyland is a deconstruction of the mental health world, hosted by Alicia Racine Fink, a redhead therapist with a flair for irreverence. This isn’t your typical therapy session—it’s a shrink rap experience where comedians unwind on the couch, dishing the T about their personal mental health journeys. Xanyland pulls back the curtain on the chaos and absurdity of mental health today, offering listeners a fresh perspective on the struggles we all face. Each episode is a mix of hilarious anecdotes and psychoeducation that demystifies therapy and breaks down the stigma around mental health. It’s a space where healing meets humor. Xanyland is about laughing at the mess, all while guiding people toward the resources they need. Oh, and the T? It means a lot of things. Big T and small t trauma for one. It’s the stuff you spill with your therapist. And obviously, it’s the Seinfeldian kind of T too—where the mundane meets the absurd.

In this episode of Xanyland, comic Tommy Brennan brings the laughs and the feels as he opens up about therapy, bombing, and building a name in comedy without losing his mind—or his stylistic integrity. From the raw chaos of bombing a set to the existential dread of “How do I look on stage?”—Tommy and Alicia go deep on what it means to find your voice when you're one of eight siblings and the only one doing stand-up. They unpack why choir is basically crack for young boys, why a “dream job” at LinkedIn can be a creative death sentence, and why therapy only works if you actually do it right. Alicia confesses to falling in love with her therapist’s husband (without knowing it), and Tommy gives a loud and proud thank-you to his therapist, Cheryl—who maybe shouldn’t come to his shows. Whether you’re a comic, a creative, or just curious about how therapy and self-presentation collide, this episode is for you. Listen now on Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your T.

Ryan Muldoon—aka RyDoon, Vine OG and stand-up comic—was once the guy who could make millions laugh in six seconds. In this episode of Xanyland, Ryan gets honest about what it really took to survive himself: getting sober, digging deep into AA and Al-Anon, screaming along to Nine Inch Nails, and surrendering to the power of hypnotherapy. Now a practicing therapist who’s funnier than ever (and yes, back on stage), he opens up about rage, recovery, and how becoming a therapist made his comedy more connected. This episode is for anyone who’s ever used humor to keep it together—and is finally ready to fall apart just enough to heal.

Comedian, actor, and all-around brilliant mind Baron Vaughn joins us to talk about something deeply personal—his journey of self-discovery after his son’s autism diagnosis. In this episode, Baron generously shares what it’s like to question your own neurodivergence as an adult, the compassion he’s learning along the way, and what “being a person” even means when you start seeing yourself through a whole new lens. The best part? He’s mid-journey—thoughtful, educated, and honest, but still figuring it out. And fun fact: Baron and Alicia were both at the Boston University College of Fine Arts Acting Program. If you don’t know him as an epic stand-up, you might recognize him from Grace and Frankie. This episode could help a lot of people accept themselves in a new way. Share it, comment, and let’s keep the conversation going.
