Anna is a pro
Long time listener. Anna is the reason. She’s empathic, sharp, generous. But I have to say, the most recent episode about the overdose crisis felt odd. Anna definitely kept it on the rails; it was the guest I found really hard to listen to. I know his article was published by Slate, which I suspect was—at least partially—why he was booked. But a good portion of his points struck me as unfocused and contradictory. I was really trying to understand where he was coming from, but it was difficult, even coming from someone who has experienced serious mental health issues of her own. I think the reason why was there didn’t seem to be a mirroring of the kind of empathy Anna was extending in his direction. Her point about wanting her kids to be safe in cities where drug use is open, common, and effecting public health was met with a level of selfishness that shocked me so much, I almost stopped listening. “I don’t want my kids to die” she says. “I hear that” he says, “I don’t have kids and I’m never going to have kids…” This was a tough one for me. Glad I listened, but it definitely boiled my blood a bit. Did not make me feel the way I usually do after a DSM episode— enlightened, hopeful, closer to understanding another perspective.
