EP 1008 Mental Health Services Often Too Fragmented and Scarce to Help When Help is Needed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Fixing our fragmented mental health care system is a key priority in dealing with the crisis we have today regarding Americans’ mental well-being. The services are not uniformly available, often late in getting to the people who need them and all of this has a profoundly negative impact on both the patients and the providers. Dealing with the physical side of the medical community is difficult enough. Imagine being in emotional distress and the crisis building up to a point where an emergency ex
EP 1007 How the Counterculture Hipsters Affect the Culture Over Time (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Underground movements and subcultures are not a recent phenomenon. Throughout modern history these bohemian movements, often marginalized in their time, have brought us our greatest creative minds by virtue of their unwillingness to accept the norms of the day. Great art, poetry music and thought have derived from these freethinkers. In recent American history, we can go from the beatnik era of the 1950’s to the hippies of the 1960’s and to the punks of the 1980’s to find the Kerouac’s, Dylan’s,
EP 1006 What We Don’t Understand About Iran–and this Conflict–Could Fill Volumes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You will find that out early in the discussion that awaits you just ahead. Our guest provides a thumbnail of modern Iranian history and in the process makes us realize that Western meddling in the mid-20th century, provides a throughline to where we are today. And where we are today in this American misadventure reminds us why Western short-term thinking is overmatched by the long game the Iranian leadership, admittedly a ‘thugocracy’, employs when it considers its actions. And while we see thei
EP 1005 Are Cats a Woman’s Best Friend? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There has been an association between cats and women throughout history. It’s not always been a positive one as so many histories have been dominated by the male perspective. Even in our era, as cats have taken their place alongside dogs, as popular home companions, they were derisively referenced in the 2024 campaign, as their guardians were referred to as ‘childless cats ladies.’ It has been a long and difficult history for the cats that we now embrace in our society. This phenomenon is only a
EP 1004 San Francisco Plays Many Roles in Our Imagination and Now a New One as the AI Hub (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What comes to mind if I say San Francisco–the hippies and Grateful Dead of the 1960’s, the locus of the AIDS epidemic of the 1980’s, the Internet revolution of the 1990’s, the urban decay of the pandemic era or the AI revolution that is clearly upon us? Well, I think the best answer is all of the above. The city is a complicated mix of culture, technology, business and a growing class divide. There may be no better chronicler of the city than Jonathan Weber who has been covering this beat for di
