132 Our Friend Anna – Intervention

We’re very grateful that Kat is joined this week by our friend
Anna to discuss the season five episode of Beverly Hills, 90210
in which Dylan’s substance abuse is confronted with a staged
intervention and catastrophic consequences.


This episode features a frank discussion about mental health,
addiction, and chemical dependency, and may be difficult for some
listeners. The examples discussed in this interview are solely
representative of the individuals speaking, and should not be
generalized to apply to the vast diversity of lived experiences.
If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, a
resource for local support groups can be found at
tinyurl.com/90210help.

“Mackenzie Phillips,” People (1994); Breathe Life Healing

Substance Use and Abuse: Cultural and Historical
Perspectives, Russil Durrant, Jo Thakker (2003)

Alcoholics Anonymous a.k.a. “The Big Book” (4th edition,

Time—both featuring friend of the podcast Santina Muha!
