Ten Thousand Spoons
from Bewildered · host Martha Beck and Rowan Mangan
Some of us have plenty of energy to meet every cultural demand, but most of us have less.

Our culture is invested in what Ro and Martha call “Spoon Privilege,” whereby people who naturally have a lot of energy (or “spoons”) tend to set the standard that comes to be considered normal.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
