About this episode
Louisa discusses her ADHD diagnosis and explores themes of masculinity and cultural obsessions.
In which I unpack my recent ADHD-HI diagnosis, discuss the holy trinity of alpha males, go on an interesting tangent about cave experiments and circadian rhythms, analyze the cultural obsession with boy bands and men who look like beautiful women, and share my thoughts on the Bible of performative manhood, Infinite Jest.
