In this episode I dive into the world wide phenomenon that is Netflix's Tiger King.

About Pop Psych 101

From the publisher's feed

In an effort to educate and normalize, two therapists, Ryan Engelstad and Hayley Roberts, talk candidly about mental health and illness through the lens of movies, music, books, and TV. Common pop culture mental health tropes are analyzed, and the accuracy of their portrayals are in question, for better or worse.
