132 Our Friend Anna – Intervention

We’re very grateful that Kat is joined this week by our friend Anna to discuss the season five episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 in which Dylan’s substance abuse is confronted with a staged intervention and catastrophic consequences. This episode features a frank discussion about mental health, addiction, and chemical dependency, and may be difficult for some listeners. The examples discussed in this interview are solely representative of the individuals speaking, and should not be generalized to apply to the vast diversity of lived experiences. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, a resource for local support groups can be found at tinyurl.com/90210help. Discussed in this episode: “Mackenzie Phillips,” People (1994); Breathe Life Healing Centers Substance Use and Abuse: Cultural and Historical Perspectives, Russil Durrant, Jo Thakker (2003) Alcoholics Anonymous a.k.a. “The Big Book” (4th edition, 2003) Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot and One Day at a Time—both featuring friend of the podcast Santina Muha!
