In this week’s episode I sit down with
to discuss a wide array of subjects from autism and borderline personality disorder to Judaism and folic acid. Meghan takes difficult and complex subjects, often taboo ones, and writes compelling long form pieces about them at The Cassandra Complex, willing to say what others won’t, and acknowledging the limits of our current knowledge or where she has left off in her personal endeavors to make sense of them.We also talk about politics, the election, the assassination attempt on President Trump, modern metal, and country music.
