    396 / Long Covid Is Changing an Entire Generation / Eli Cahan

    Investigative journalist and pediatrician Eli Cahan joined me to discuss the magnitude of the long Covid crisis in the youth population of the United States, addressed in his October Rolling Stone piece, Long Covid Is Real—And It’s Changing an Entire Generation. Eli Cahan takes the time to speak to his dual position as a pediatrician and investigative journalist and how they intersect. He takes us through the struggles many families are dealing with, the human-level hardships that are unique to each child and their families, indicative of a much wider and pervasive long Covid crisis. This kind of journalism is as humanizing as it is deeply informed—a call to action against a generational injustice that will continue to cascade unless we improve the conditions not just for long Covid sufferers, but for everyone. We are all vulnerable to this pandemic. // Episode notes: https://www.lastborninthewilderness.com/episodes/eli-cahan // Sustain + support: https://www.patreon.com/lastborninthewilderness // Donate: https://www.paypal.me/lastbornpodcast

    395 / Wakara’s America / Max Perry Mueller

    Max Perry Mueller, professor of religious studies and author, joined me in this sweeping interview to discuss his new book, Wakara's America: The Life and Legacy of a Native Founder of the American West, published by Basic Books. Our discussion covers some of the thematic sweeps and details of Mueller’s incredibly well-written and rich history of the American West and one of its central, oft-forgotten, and overlooked founders, Wakara—intersecting with indigenous ecological knowledge and management systems, settler-colonialism, and Mormonism. // Episode notes: https://www.lastborninthewilderness.com/episodes/max-perry-mueller // Sustain + support: https://www.patreon.com/lastborninthewilderness // Donate: https://www.paypal.me/lastbornpodcast

    Preview / You will be disappointed, and that's okay.

    I speak to the enormously successful campaign of Zorhan Mamdani, his charisma, the very practical policy goals set by his run for mayor of New York City, and how you will be disappointed. "I just want to be really transparent and honest about the fact that I, too, feel many of the feelings that people have about this, while also having this other part of myself, which I don't want to describe as pessimistic as much as just realistic." // Become a free or paid Patreon supporter and listen to the full post: https://www.patreon.com/lastborninthewilderness

    394 / Luigi / John H. Richardson

    Author and journalist John H. Richardson joins me to ruminate on his new book, Luigi: The Making and the Meaning, published by Simon & Schuster. In line with the book’s title, we discuss the making and the meaning of Luigi Mangione, currently on trial for the alleged killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. In his full book treatment of the case, Richardson follows the breadcrumbs Mangione left behind, painting a vivid picture of his influences and thinking, situating this violent act within our revolutionary moment. // Episode notes: https://www.lastborninthewilderness.com/episodes/john-richardson-2 // Sustain + support: https://www.patreon.com/lastborninthewilderness // Donate: https://www.paypal.me/lastbornpodcast
