I go back before the above moment with the Unicorn in Buzzard’s Bay, and explain why I was so ready to jump into something that brought me joy and happiness. It was a salve for the past 8 years of my life, which was pretty bleak for the last 4, culminating in the care-taking of a sick loved one. I glean insight, though, about the nature of love and commitment, and how these can be separated, and how this separation can expand one’s possibility of finding a diversity of fulfilling relationships in your life.

Episode 2: Love and Sickness

I interview my mother about what I'm doing, why I'm doing it, and what I could possibly do differently. Her natural vigour and sincerity really shine through and I make some changes to my modus operandi following our discussion. Sorry about the rocky beginning to this! I'm still on a learning curve with this software.

Episode 3: My Mother and I discuss my sex life

This fourth episode in my podcast is about falling in love, trying to re-establish my identity, dealing drugs, and massively failing at all of the above. 

Episode 4: Little Green Bag

Wade Davis and his mushroom, Castenada licking frogs, Sacks with his laboratory and me with my little white pills. It was bound to happen, I'm just so glad it did.

Episode 5: Little White Pills

Three things happened this fall that I needed to discuss. I apologize for talking about Ghomeshi, but I haven't said anything official about it yet and it is an issue that relates to my blog. I also discuss my own sexual assault, so a warning about that. Finally I describe a disappointment I had this fall, when someone I cared about used me in the way that men use women. 

Episode 6: Ghomeshi, Rape and Heartache

In this live storytelling event as part of Yarn, a storytelling event hosted by Jeff Gandell (whose voice is included at the end) I tell a story about a 36 hour date with a yogi who jerked off in a hotel room when he thought I was sleeping. It happens. I don't know.

Episode 7: Yarn Storytelling in Mtl, "The 36 Hour First Date"

I told a story at Confabulation this month about a date who kept asking me what his score was. He certainly was impressive...in that he made an impression on me. He just did things I really don't think he wants to be remembered for. 

Episode 8: The Score

This is more just a state of the union address, checking in with listeners because I haven't posted why I haven't been posting on my dating blog. Mainly, uh...because I haven't been dating. 

Episode 9: Steak Tartare

another cheerful podcast from your fun, fun friend about life, love and family and how to separate the three.

Episode 10: Stillborn

Wherein I discover a dark truth about myself.

(Francisco Goya, "Saturn Devouring His Children.")
