This Is Your Mixtape

50. I Am Cringe But I Am Free. [Michael Collins.]

Listen Later

Michael Collins is a writer, podcaster,

former academic, bodybuilder, and lapsed classical pianist who has hosted This
Is Your Mixtape since October 2017. He is originally from Newfoundland, but
has somehow spent the last twelve years in Toronto, Ontario.

Since Michael wasn’t up to interviewing himself, he invited his first

guest,
Chris (from Megaphonic podcasts It’s Just
A Show and The Spouter-Inn) to ask him some questions. Michael and
Chris talk about resilience, self-respect, false jadedness, long-term
relationships, and climate apocalypse.

Michael’s Five Songs.
  • Beautiful Life by Ace of
    • Base.
  • Precious Things by Tori
    • Amos.
  • Risingson by Massive
    • Attack.
  • Good Intentions Paving Co.
    • by Joanna Newsom.
  • Drowning in the Sound by
    • Amanda Palmer.
