Are they crazy? Or is someone making them think they're crazy?
This week, we're looking at picks with that insidious form of crazy-making: gaslighting. Whether it's one person abusing another, or an entire culture making someone feel crazy, we've got picks that show that crazy is often truth.
Along the way we're also talking about the benefits and drawbacks of using a Men-in-Black memory eraser, our new careers as book reviewers, and a truly terrific new review from a listener.
Learn more about racial gaslighting from Jacquelyn Ogorchukwu Iyamah.
And, don't forget to listen to the source of this week's episode title, "Where Is My Mind," by The Pixies.
