In the first episode of Dhengsang, part 1 of a 2-part special, I dive head-first into the oft-overlooked issue of binge drinking, and how I found out how little I understood the affects they had on me biologically. Sarah Hepola, author of New York Times Bestseller 'Blackouts: Remembering the things I drank to forget' joins me and shares her thoughts on this area that so little research has been done on , in spite of the long history of alcohol in human civilization.

In the second episode of Dhengsang, part 2 of a 2-part special on 'Drinking Culture and Blackouts', I speak with Cathy Tsong Deh Kwe on the social factors and impacts of alcohol abuse. Cathy Tsong Deh Kwe is a bear clan, Anishinabe-Ojibwe activist, and is a well-known face in the community of grassroots indigenous activists in Toronto. Her invaluable words of wisdom in social media posts are something I regularly look forward to and learn from.
