Dealing with Feels
In our second part on Feels, we touch on hysteria, feelings around failure, the emotional toll academia takes on its students, asylums, witchcraft, and why blocking someone who’s harassing you on the internet is a silly way to go.
Serena would like to voice her apologies for not speaking much this episode – she had a rather nasty flu and had zombie brain for three weeks.

Another Sawbones episode! This time, on fainting and corsets. Sophia marathoned a lot of Sawbones in the run-up to this episode, so definitely internalised some things (and would rec it).
