    Diverse and Fabulous: The History of Mental Health and Neurodivergency
    Sep 1 2023
    Hey Guys! There is a *TRIGGER WARNING* for this episode- poor treatment of neurodivergent people, discussions of mental health issues and pseudocyesis. So, look after yourself! I dipped my toe into Korean history with King Gyeonjong of Joseon (조선 경종) and visit Germany and Scotland with various stories. Hope you enjoy!
