I tried to start a podcast (again) at the beginning of the year.

It’s now 4 months later and my bestie from childhood is egging me on.

So here’s Take 1 from the first week of what has turned out to be a proper shitshow of a year (Is it the Dragon? Eclipse? Late Capitalism? or simply Life…specifically the middle passage…?)

The idea is to engage in friendly conversation with my lovelies about how the hell they keep on keeping on in the face of the madness. There may be a few soliloquies, because who doesn’t love a ruminater (don’t answer that!). I’m hoping it will help.

The people I love are VITAL, they are really living.

So let’s let them inspire us, shall we?
