Geoff Hylton joins me for this episode as we discuss drug addiction and the mechanisms that are involved, followed by a personal talk regarding addiction in our own lives and how it has played a role. We also cover Geoff's dating life, strange cultural practices of the Pacific Northwest, industry secrets behind "imitation crab", "wild-like fish" and other seafood conspiracies, sugar: the other white drug; the surprising benefits of prayer, and some of the dangers facing women today. The first half of this episode is more technical than the usual free episodes and we go deep into the processes that underly our biological and psychological functioning. You will hear some technical jargon, but it has plenty of comedic breaks and very genuine personal moments that make the science seem very palatable.
This is a very personal episode and I like how it turned out. I hope you enjoy it. If you do, please share it with a friend. The best way to help the show is to talk about it.
Thank you for supporting Ramble by the River.
Much love,
Jeff
