After decades of wrestling with and doubting the profession that is ostensibly dedicated to improving my mental health, I decided to talk to the legendary science journalist Robert Whitaker, whose research has blown apart contemporary psychiatry and revealed how catastrophic its mass deployment of psychoactive drugs has been for children, adults, and even people suffering with schizophrenia. If you're seeing a traditional psychiatrist or taking medication for mental health, this episode will very likely change your life.

I am fascinated by the global nationalist populist movement—the alliance of the Brexiteers in Britain, Trump and the ascendant MAGA movement in the US, the LePens and National Rally of France, Bolsonaro in Brazil and many other major political parties and leaders across the globe—and so I was very pleased to sit down with Eric Kaufmann, Professor of Politics at Birkbeck College, University of London, who is the author of Whiteshift—the very best book on the subject. It became one of the most illuminating political conversations I've had in a long time, which is saying something.
