Overheard Orlando

The importance of a supportive and tight knit community cannot be overstated. I sit with Omar Ramo to discuss his place in both the Orlando art community, as well as the LGBT community. Using his artistic merit, Omar takes on the challenges of mental health and even manages to get a mention in Orlando Weekly.

Someone's presence (or absence) can change the air of a space just as much as much as any captivating curio. Guru of all things aesthetic, Danielle Budd joins me in discussing love and design. We'll talk the art of effective compromise and how to take a personal inventory not just of the things that no longer serve your surrounds, but of the cumbersome thoughts and emotions that have overstayed their welcome within us.

Reality itself never changes, except of course in our own minds. I sit (remotely) with writer and wellness enthusiast Cori Sims to discuss some of her universal truths and her Personal Philosophy. Cori also shares with us an excerpt from an untitled project as well as the processes that are bringing it to life.

As Gen Z comes into adulthood, their way of navigating this strange new world is often misunderstood. Via remote recording, I sit with Emily Wagg to discuss the prominence of a generation. We'll dive into some Gen Z touchstones from perceived "Cancel Culture" to the misgivings of past generations and of course, TikTok.

In a time where leaving the house is largely forbidden, this bonus episode takes us away from Orlando and off to Alberta, Canada. Using remote recording software, I'll chat with my friend and the man behind the music of Overheard Orlando; Neon Dreams. We'll discuss personal philosophies, the current state of the world, art, and creation in this XL bonus episode.

As all eyes remain fixed on the novel Coronavirus, I sit with Chris Catino to change the focus to Multiple Sclerosis. With March being National MS Awareness Month, we'll discuss his reality after the life changing diagnosis, and the effect it's had on his personal philosophy.

The concept of Personal Philosophy explained. Four current and former Orlando area residents expound upon thier own personal philosophy and their take on the characteristics surrounding the human condition.

I sit with Jon Stemberger as we discuss his new art series, the creative process, and why looking to the future might be overrated.

The who and what of Overheard Orlando, and what to expect from future episodes.
