Looks good - NAMI groups do seem to have some good podcasts - here is another one:

Specifically these podcasts:

NPO Media Podcast episode 2 features Kenneth Cybulska, NAMI peer facilitator and Honoree for the 26th Annual NAMI NYC Staten Island Awards Celebration. Ken details how he was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder and had to learn the skills needed to cope with his illness.

Episode 5 of the NPO Media Podcast features Greg Hitchcock, a journalist, filmmaker and advocate who was diagnosed with schizophrenia while serving in the military. Sharing personal experiences, Greg takes us from the earliest days of his illness through his ongoing recovery journey. Greg’s work can be found online at www.greghitchcockonline.net.

Voices in Your Head:
Jad talks to Charles Fernyhough about the connection between thought, inner speech, and the voice in our heads.

Living with Schizophrenia

An interview with law professor, author and Macarthur fellow, Elyn Saks, about her experience of living with Schizophrenia. Elyn describes the experience of psychosis as like living in a nightmare from which you cannot wake up. She describes her 20 year long struggle to deny that she had schizophrenia, and especially that she did not need medication, despite months long hospitalizations, and daily experiences of psychosis. She was given a grave prognosis and told that she might never live independently. With the help of psychoanalysis and medication, Ellyn returned to law school and is now an expert on mental health law and the author of four books. Elyn speaks powerfully about stigma and mental illness, the use of restraints in psychiatric hospitals and her research into the lives of high-functioning people with schizophrenia.
