Chimerical (adj): existing only as the product of unchecked imagination; fantastically visionary. My name's Alexander Borkowski. I grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana, a crazy city that inspired in me a never ending thirst to hear people's stories; their lives, hopes, and realities, inside and out. Is there more than just one real world? I started this podcast to show how imagination can bridge our differences, and how reality is often just as much a product of our unchecked imaginations as our dreams.
