An Australian in Italy

This call starts at Burning Man but quickly opens up into a far more complicated conversation about grief, abuse, healing, and the long work of rebuilding. But the playa stays in the mix throughout, a touchstone for how this caller has tried to redefine life along the way. And, of course, we make a stop at the Orgy Dome.

First Responder

Raised by a zoologist in a house full of wild animals, this psychology professor’s life has remained just as untamed: coaching junior roller derby, a stint making high-end chocolate, parenting a trans kid, and that’s just for starters. Unpredictable but never aimless, her conversation with Gethard is just as wide-ranging as her life.

Wholesome Sex Worker

Does what it says on the tin. Gethard talks to a polyamorous witch librarian who once worked the front desk at a brothel, surprisingly perfect training for library life. They get into the realities of coven community, late-discovered neurodivergence, leaving a faith tradition, and why public libraries are such vital spaces, now more than ever. It’s wide-ranging but never scattered. More like a life filed neatly into sections by someone who knows how to organize a catalog.

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

A couple weeks back, Gethard talked with a lawyer whose husband came up a few times. We learned two key facts about him: he’s got a lot of birds, and he works on a tugboat. Well, he got through this week, and that means Geth got to ask him a few questions about the birds and a million more about life aboard a tugboat. It’s a conversation packed with oddly fascinating details about this very specific, rarely discussed job.

Tugboat Life

This week, Gethard talks to a Vietnam veteran with a lifetime of stories. He’s never listened to the podcast, but his granddaughter has, and she encouraged him to call in as a way to share and preserve the experiences he’s carried for decades. He recounts some harrowing moments from his childhood before walking us through the catastrophic day in Vietnam that changed the course of his life. It’s a conversation about trauma, memory, survival, and what it means to have your story heard.
 
​​Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of childhood trauma, animal death, graphic descriptions of violent injury, death, and experiences of war. Please listen with care.

Vietnam Veteran

Thirty-eight weeks pregnant and living on a mysterious (to Geth) island off the west coast of the United States, this week's caller talks to Gethard about packing up her life and moving from the mainland, taking a ferry to Starbucks, and why it's sometimes easier to connect with animals than children.
