Vicarious Identity

I talk with my friend Kit Chapman, the author of the book Superheavy, which will be out next year from Bloomsbury. We talk about his story, being a kid raised partially in Hong Kong, the moment when he decided to give up alcohol and signs he saw right before becoming a skeptic. We dive into his writing and his take about science journalism, along with embarrassing him a bit because many people think that he is great.

You can currently preorder his book at https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/superheavy-9781472953896/

He recorded a special feature for our patreon at Sickle Level at http://www.patreon.com/vicariousmuggleland

I talk to author D.R. Perry, who is pretty much family too me. We talk about life and the creative process along, creators and feedback, identities in gaming (both in person and online), and much much more.

"It's very quiet when we do "okay" ... The lack of response is fake. People respond to what they see and you don't see it." - D.R. Perry

This episode I speak with Ariel (Ari) mostly about religion. We talk about their calling into the ministry, the highs and lows of the calling, how that gets balanced with having a family, their experience with being proactive in pushing more progressive thought patterns with a conservative congregation, gaming, and more.

Ari is doing work with the Poor People's Campaign for more information visit https://www.poorpeoplescampaign.org/

"One of the ways that makes us human is the stories that we tell about ourselves, our relations, our communities. That's what defines our humanity and there's actually theories out there that say that if we didn't tell stories about ourselves we actually wouldn't be concious.. 

So when your own internal story doesn't line up with the way people are reacting to you, the way that people are addressing you, that is such a huge disconnect and it so badly impacts mental health ... that is a critical part of the story of the self and so when the way that people are talking to you and about you does not line up with the story of self, it's in the toilet there's nothing you can do." - Errick 

On this episode of Vicarious Identity, who is Errick? Why Durmstrang? How did he become Errick? Why Mermen? What is his fascination with the Fast and the Furious? In searching for my identity I speak with my friend and fellow writer who talks about his story of coming out as transgender, queer coding in pop culture, mental health issues, and his goals and dreams.

This is the introduction to Vicarious Identity: Living a Midlife Crisis through Other People. Here we find our hero rambling on about his identity and what the podcast is about. The TL:DR is to get down deep with people he knows to help find himself.
