Harvey and Pen discuss the areas they grew up in, research on mental health in those places, and the availability of resources.

Featuring: When I say small town, I mean small town; Mental health resources? In my rural area? It's about as likely as you'd think (which is to say there's none); "Oh, mental health? That's under beef."; Nobody studies suburbs; McCarthysism, moral panics, and oh shoot that's why it's called "nuclear family"; Small town accountability vs suburban teen cruelty; Four options: a history major reading an essay, a high schooler trying to pass their test,  a history buff who I really don't want to talk to, or Harvey.
