Former Atari game designer, documentarian and psychotherapist Howard Scott Warshaw returns to talk the lost year of 2020. While everyone was locked down in an attempt to prevent physical illness, mental illness has risen sharply during the quarantine. Agoraphobia, claustrophobia, domestic violence, depression, divorce...it's all gotten very, very ugly. But there is hope, and Howard is here to help to uncover the root of why we feel this way, how the pandemic has changed us in ways we haven't even realized, how to spot the signs of a downward turn in your friends or loved ones, and what to do if you're afraid they're in danger. Plus, Howard talks about his new memoir, Once Upon Atari: How I Made History by Killing an Industry, the story of how he came to be one of Atari's top young programmers, only for the video game crash of 1983 to send his career in a vastly different direction.
