Description

This episode was a bit of a divergence from the regular topics we cover on IT in the D: this week we were joined by author James Parker, staff writer at The Atlantic, and author of the book Get Me Through the Next Five Minutes: Odes to Being Alive. The book delves into personal struggles, mental health, and life's daily challenges. The conversation covers Parker's unique writing style, his use of the word 'ode' in the book, and his thoughts on meditation, buzz management, and writing in the age of AI. The episode also touches on lighter topics like wrestling, food preferences, and favorite action heroes.
