-----------------

In this, the 19th of (hopefully) many episodes he offers up some thoughts on media representation, being a Westerner through and through, the nobility of being a writer, how much he hates insensitivity around mental illness (but is not surprised by it), and how much he loves Wes Anderson's 'The Darjeeling Limited.
Hopefully something in this podcast inspires you to act with a little more empathy today, or a bit more courage. Or, at the very least, makes you feel a little bit less alone in your confusion.
