Pizza & Misdiagnosis w/ Dr. Josh Iddings

It's Pizza Night!

Dr. Josh Iddings, Assistant Professor of Writing and Communication at Siena College, joins us for a conversation about his Diabetes diagnosis, years of treatment & consistent frustrations... and then ANOTHER Diabetes diagnosis. Can a T1D diagnosis (usually a jarring and traumatic moment) actually be a relief? And what does misdiagnosis mean for people with chronic illness over the long term?

Melissa and Steve have been making a lot of pizza over the past couple of years -- so, from easy dough mixing to hot-hot oven temps, there's a lot to talk about. Though we mention using a Baking Steel (which you can see over at bakingsteel.com), a stone works really well. If you have neither: a cast iron skillet is the way to go!

For some VERY thorough testing, discussion, and examples of pizza-making practices, we highly recommend you search "pizza" on J. Kenji López-Alt's YouTube channel and/or Serious Eats

Melissa ruminates on the way that family dynamics and relationships are always affected by a Diabetes diagnosis, and recalls her experience as a student. Steve briefly geeks out about cast iron, and opens-up some of the social and systemic contexts for misdiagnosis.
