The Frontier Psychiatrists didn’t start as a newsletter. It began as a clubhouse room, with friends like @Psych Fox and Michelle Bernabe, RN joining myself and Carlene MacMillan, MD for audio-only conversations. Even before that, I was a bit podcast-obsessed. I won a grant to record podcasts about self-disclosure among health professionals at NYU—the Rudin Fellowship in Ethics and Humanities. This episode is built on a recording from that era—2017—with Gillian Waldorf, Ph.D. This is what I looked like way back in college:

She is a classmate of mine from Amherst College, and we were both huge nerds who didn’t drink. Little did we know, we also had our first stirrings of psychiatric illness in common. This podcast is not perfect. It is also only part one. But perfect, as this newsletter + associated media is fond of embodying, is the enemy of the done. This was recorded, edited, and scored by yours truly, Owen Muir, M.D.

I hope you enjoy it. Please share and review on Apple Podcasts if you do!
