Season 5, Episode 3: Emily Nagoski PHD on Burnout

This is a conversation about how everything is connected. We speak with Emily Nagoski about burnout, that feeling of overwork and overwhelm and how it connects to things far outside of stressful jobs and schedules. It comes down to, she argues, how we buy into major wrong assumptions about our world. Nagoski wrote this book with women in mind but we think the book and this conversation is for everyone.

Season 5, Episode 2: Dr. René Najera on the History of Vaccines

When we forget our history, we lose our context for the present and the future. The past year has been a return to humankind’s historic relationship with mass death caused by disease. Early vaccines were a breakthrough that picked winners in fights for global power and helped a lot of people reach adulthood and live healthier happier lives. I thought I knew a lot of history but this conversation blew my mind.
