We're with Mike Azar for Episode 208 of The Beirut Banyan.

We discuss public and personal pain in the aftermath of the Beirut blasts, and how collective loss is shaping the post-civil war generation.

We also talk about going into 'autopilot' following shock, dealing with trauma and an inability to accept tragedy without justice.

Mike Azar is a finance advisor and a friend.
