The Taste of Yuck: An Incomplete Oral History

Janeen McCrae

Komodo dragons have an 'iron' coating on their teeth, protecting them and keeping 'em sharp. In today's episode, I make a connection between the idea of the damage negative emotions have on us and how we must eat them to learn how to digest and build a sort of emotional enamel against them. You'll see... take a listen!

The story on Komodo dragon teeth that I mention in the intro is here: https://boingboing.net/2024/07/25/komodo-dragons-teeth-are-so-metal.html
