“Everyone is a little crazy” is a phrase we may hear often, it is meant to soften the edges of difference. In this episode, Matt Bodett unpacks the grain of truth in that claim while pushing back on the ways it flattens lived experience. From the spectrum of human disorientation to the histories of stigma, confinement, and appropriation, this conversation asks: what gets lost when madness is reduced to a universal quirk? Matt traces how culture has borrowed mad aesthetics while sidelining mad people, and offers a different way of thinking, different ways oof reclaiming madness as identity, history, and knowledge.
