About Joshua
Joshua Walters explores "language, creativity, beatboxing and madness” -TED.com. As a storyteller he has been been featured on NPR’s Snap Judgment as well as the TED Radio Hour, best known for his performance on TED Talks. His most recent podcast, Mental Health Minute, explores wellness tools of those with mental health experience, a production that was recently turned into animated shorts.
Currently, Joshua is in the process of launching Mad One Media, which is both a platform for mental health narratives, and a way for creatives to gain the tools they desire through mentoring.
"Joshua is an amazing voice / performance / writing talent. The complete package. We have proudly featured him several times” -Glynn Washington
