Summary

In our last episode, we took some of your most pressing questions and left out content related to histories of medicine & disease. In this smaller mailbag pod, we talk about social distancing in the Kirsten era, Samantha's experience with the 1918 flu pandemic, and offer some additional pop culture prescriptions.

To check out pop culture distractions shared by our listeners (and add your own!), explore Pop Culture Prescription.
