About this episode

I'm depressed. You're depressed. We're all just super mega depressed. Soo ... is it just low levels of serotonin? Our so-called 'childhoods'? Or is it because the world is falling apart and we all feel super impotent while witnessing the collapse of capitalism give way to far-right resurgence across the globe. Idk. Maybe my mother's right and I'm just not taking enough Magnesium and Vitamin D. Who knows? Anyway, in this first episode I give a flavour of what future episodes of this podcast will feel like and what topics I'll be exploring. Hope you enjoy it!
