Content warning: This episode contains discussions surrounding drug use. Listener discretion is advised.

I’m excited to welcome friend of the pod, Pat — a once serious student turned college professor — to join me in examining the As and Amphetamines in Season 2, Episode 6 of Family Ties titled “Speed Trap” (aka “Alex P. Keaton Does Speed!”).

From catastrophized teenage thinking to Alex P. Keaton’s “greed with the face of an angel,” we talk good kids taking bad medicine, fat shaming, and lessons learned the hard way over on Patreon!
