Description

Anna and Enzo have consumed their daily Yerba Mate and iced coffee, so there's no need to worry! They are awake and ready to talk. In episode 107 of Telepathy, Enzo and Anna analyze the normalization of a caffeine dependency and how coffee culture varies from country to country. They note that the United States' reliance on coffee and energy drinks often reflects "hustle culture," whereas "tea time" is viewed as a chance to slow down in the UK. With the concept of "don't talk to me until I've had my coffee," people often rely on caffeine to power through exhausting 9-5s. In typical marketing fashion, many coffee shops have now turned to fancy $8 lattes to fulfill people's caffeine cravings. So, grab your overpriced latte or a nice hot cup of tea and use these 40 minutes of Telepathy time to slow down!
