For Episode 69 of Brolapse, Ryan James does something different.

Instead of a guest, this episode offers a first listen to Deeper—his forthcoming memoir—presented here in its unedited author’s version. Ryan reads the full prologue, No Safe Words, followed by the first chapter, Impact, giving listeners an intimate introduction to the book’s voice, structure, and intent before final editorial revisions.

Deeper is not a traditional memoir. It rejects clean arcs and easy redemption in favor of fragments, contradictions, and lived texture. These opening chapters explore survival, addiction, performance, porn, identity, and the cost of turning pain into currency in the age of algorithms—without smoothing edges or offering answers that don’t exist.

Starting in March 2026, the Deeper audiobook will be released chapter by chapter as bonus episodes for Spotify subscribers, before eventually becoming available in full on Audible. If you’ve ever wondered what it sounds like when someone tells their story without a safety net, this is where it begins.
