This week the Two Idiots are joined by Brittany Penner, and as the episode number suggests, it's a great one! We briefly discuss her experiences as a doctor dealing with Covid in the Southeast, and move on to chat about the challenges growing up as an indigenous person adopted into a Mennonite family, finding her identity (and her birth family), her recent essays featured in Macleans, the Globe and Mail, and Huffington Post about those experiences, racism, and ADHD (Reg and Randy both almost definitely have it), Randy's thoughts about his own birth dad, and so much more! We had a powerful conversation and we look forward to having Brittany back soon! Enjoy!
