In this episode of Backsliders, we talk with our friend, the talented photographer, videographer, retro clothing company owner and overall great human Claude Charles. Claude is Jamaican/Haitian-American and grew up in Florida. We talk about his experience in Christian schools, how the movie “Death and Beyond” scared the hell out of him, his interest in aliens and UFOs, the connection between Christianity and colonialism, and the power of changing your environment. Other fun topics we touch on: Street Sharks, Harry Potter, evangelical wrestling, and more. *Micah swapped the meaning of Calvinist and Armenian thought, whoops!Fun fact - Claude and his love Angie record all video for these podcasts! To watch our narrative show Home that Claude references in the beginning of our talk, click here. Claude LinksWebsite InstagramRetro Candy ClothingTop Notch Bod by Ang Our LinksBacksliders the Scripted SeriesInstagramFacebookTwitterKeylee InstagramMicah Instagram CreditsVideography and Photography by Claude CharlesIntro Music "7.2.19" by Chase BurnettOutro Music "Stay Mad" by Chase Burnett ft.
