Therapy Would Be Cheaper Podcast

I've been asked many times during our Trauma Bonded campaign, "How are you pairing such a dark subject with comedy?" I so thoroughly enjoyed speaking with podcast host Kenzie Rowland that I come away with the simple answer: How could I not?

In this episode, Kenzie and I discuss this pairing of trauma and comedy, as well as:
- Why I don't smoke weed anymore
- How my grandfather caught me ranting to myself in a field
- Why Kenzie and I are now starting a petition to burn all striped T-shirts

This is a piece that I wrote about politics in relationships and my experience navigating them after the 2016 election. It's a departure from my film work, but connects on a deeper level with the voices and points of view I try to highlight in my art.
