The Line Between Mental Health and Madness | Overpriced JPEGs Bonus Episode

This is a very different kind of episode of OPJ. A couple months ago, I (Carly) became so riveted by a story I read in the Atlantic, that I reached out to the author for a conversation for the podcast.

Though he still isn’t entirely sure what an NFT is, I’m incredibly grateful to Jonathan Rosen for agreeing to come on OPJ to talk more about an incredibly important and difficult issue. 

Though it’s different from my usual content, I think y’all will really enjoy this episode.

Would love to know what you think in the comments.
