On the podcast today we have P.E. Moskowitz (https://x.com/_pem_pem), a writer who also runs the newsletter Mental Hellth (https://mentalhellth.xyz/), and author of the book Breaking Awake: A Reporter’s Search for a New Life, and a New World Through Drugs (https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Breaking-Awake/P-E-Moskowitz/9781668007778 ). We discuss breaking outside of narrative meaning in mental health, dissociation/depersonalization/derealization, the neoliberalization of mental health, and the move away from understanding how systemic structures cause mental illness toward an individualistic model.

Paul Freedman: Author of American Cuisine: And How It Got This Way
I talk with Paul Freedman, a history professor at Yale and author of the book American Cuisine: And How It Got This Way (https://wwnorton.com/books/9781631494628) which looks at the history of how food evolved over time in the US. in 1900 40% of US population worked in agriculture. Now that number is under 2%. Correspondingly food used to be 40% of a family’s budget and in 2016 that number was 12.6%. We talk about the positives and negatives of the industrialization of food, the evolution of food science, the 70s farm to table revolution, and more!
