A documentary filmmaker named Ryan travels to Ukraine to document humanitarian efforts on the front lines. During a civilian evacuation mission into the grey zone, his van is struck by mortar fire. Separated from his group and hiding in the woods, Ryan describes feeling overtaken by a presence that he believes may have been guiding him to safety.

In this episode, I sit down with Susannah Cahalan—American journalist and bestselling author of Brain on Fire, The Great Pretender, and most recently, The Acid Queen. We discuss her harrowing experience with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis, a rare brain inflammation that led to seizures, vivid hallucinations and hospitalization during a month long psychotic episode. This ordeal that ultimately sparked her deep interest in psychology and neuroscience. Susannah also shares insights from her latest work, offering a compelling look into the life of Rosemary Woodruff Leary, a central figure in the 1960s psychedelic movement and the wife of Timothy Leary from 1967 to 1976.
