Oh hey, it's your coworker you called Dave and he was like David, which is good to know. Allie Ward, this is Ollogies. This specific episode is a bonus. It's like a dessert for the OCD neurobiology episode that we just did with psychiatry icon Dr. Wayne Goodman.

So you can start there for a comprehensive look at what OCD is, where it starts, what to do if you or a loved one might be one of us. A person with OCD comes in all flavors, all strengths, as you may have learned in that episode. Now, between last Tuesday's OCD episode and this bonus episode, Oligies was named one of Time magazine's best podcasts of all time with our artwork like smack in the middle of the lead image. This was a pure surprise. It was one I never could have dreamed of.

So if you are new here from there and you're not sure where to start, you can head to ologies.com where we have a sorted list of topics. It's like a menu of things you can put in your brain with like the bugs and birds and marine science and history and culture. Anyway, ologies.com. Also, I know that Time said that this is a like a funny show and here we are just by chance putting out two episodes on like a devastating mental health issue.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.
