Primitive Culture: A Star Trek History and Culture PodcastYou Have to Keep Making the SausageTrekonomics, with Manu Saadia. “The economics of the future are somewhat different,” Captain Jean-Luc Picard tells Lily Sloane in Star Trek: First Contact. “You see, money doesn’t exist in the 24th century.” But the “primitive” 21st-century human is instinctively appalled: “No money? You mean you don’t get paid?” To some viewers, the post-scarcity economic system that underpins the Star Trek universe—what author Manu Saadia calls “Trekonomics”—can seem equally baffling. But is the utopian future of the Federation really as improbable as the creation of warp drive or the transporter? Or is Star Trek, as a cultural product of Ame...

Lily is a therapist, composer, audio producer, and host of a weekly advice show with a deep passion for making the world a better place through self-healing. Learning to live with and accept her health challenges through therapy has helped her find comfort in the unknown, which she then channels into her own practice. By tearing down the notion of “perfect health”, Lily is able to help her clients -- and herself -- open the door to gratitude.

In the first hour or so I’ll talk about this and share my playlist of climate anxiety songs - well, they’re not all about anxiety. Some of them are just about how nice nature is.

A Therapist Walks Into a BarAn Untakebackable ChoiceWhen it comes to making babies, it can often feel like there are only 2 choices and you have to feel 100% happy with your choice once you’ve made it. Oh, and also, no matter what choice you make, people will judge you. While I grapple with my own uncertain future, Nuala has made a decision that doesn't fit neatly into any category. The choice to have children is not quite like other choices in life because it’s pretty untakebackable. But like many other choices, saying yes to one thing and no to another can be full of complicated feelings.

The JedediariesWeek 27: July 3–9, 1993It's Torrey's birthday week! In the present, Jedediah & Torrey discuss mortality, depression, Ozymandias, Oprah, and journaling by way of Gchat. But back in 1993 it was rollerblading (disappointing), presents (for which insufficient gratitude was shown), pizza (pepperoni), and staying up all night (until 6 AM). And fireworks (for America's birthday).

A Therapist Walks Into a BarThe Presence of PastThere’s this cliche, that all therapists want to do is make you talk about the past. Even though I often reassure new clients that I won’t make them talk about anything they don’t want to, it’s not untrue - a lot of us do want to know about your past. Because the past is never actually in the past and the present and the future are intricately tied to it. But like any historical research, piecing our own pasts together is both vital to self-understanding and fraught. And our understanding of history changes with who we are in t...

A Therapist Walks Into a BarThe Best Defense Is the One You KnowFor decades, the field of psychology has been interested in understanding the myriad creative strategies we employ to cope with life's inevitable discomforts. But right now, I wonder if I can convince you that your defense mechanisms might be the key to knowing who you are as an individual and who WE are as a collective. And maybe, just maybe the ways we defend ourselves against the things that scare us are unfairly getting a bad rap.
I say, the best defense is the one you know.
