AB Pod: Epi-2: WKNY Interview with Judy McTague: Pt1
About 9 years ago (!) WKNY in Kingston, NY had me on as a guest, speaking with Jody McTague. Jody was wonderful! The experience of being on the radio was almost surreal but also gratifying. At the time, I thought I was finally "making it" … [Read more...]
AB Pod: Epi-1: Let’s Wage Some War! (My Way)
Here I go again. I thought I'd left behind the idea of actively sharing anything about my bipolar past. I have always wanted my material to be available to those who need it most. But my first run at doing so turned into a bitterly stressful … [Read more...]

Road Notes #15: Merry Christmas And Stuff!
I'm not gonna lie to ya: it's Christmas Eve and I am burnt from a long day of both work and holiday visits. Barely awake. Longing for 20 minutes of Netflix, some overly rich snacks, then bed. But I'll soldier on. Because that what's you do … [Read more...]
