Against Type Podcast

What dark and vibrant histories live inside the people you see every day? In this episode, we reach through a picture of Damascus on a cafe wall to find a life filled with loss, persecution, and new beginnings.

In a departure from our usual format, we interview writer and filmmaker Mark Borchardt about art, discipline, the mystery of life, and the daily holy war of being creative.

The second in our 2-part series about dads. Part 2 is an anthology of puzzling creatures: fathers, daughters, and sons of all stripes.

The first in our 2-part series about dads. In part 1, we talk to an accomplished scoundrel who did his own vasectomy, lost a religious war with the IRS, and remained a good father through it all.

In the first episode of Against Type, we explore the strange logic of the semi-conscious mind. You'll hear from a new father suffering terrible sleepwalking episodes, a sleepwalking expert, and two friends that would trade their lives for an extra wink of sleep.
