We talk theatre, we talk life with a chronic illness, and we wonder how a persons name enters language to represent an idea.    Take some time to learn about Kafka and the origins of Kafkaesque, it's absolutely fascinating!   I would also recommend watching "Unrest" by Jennifer Brea as it is an amazing insight into the world of chronic illnesses, and certainly shows a taster of the kafkaesque nature of the chronic illness life that myself, and so many others experience on a daily basis.   

It's Mind-pop time! Todays conversation covers creativity, inspiration, mental health, and our personal experiences with mind-pops.  CW: mentions of intrusive thoughts and self harm.    Michelle's Musings: "How I spend my time makes a difference to how my mind treats me... no duh! But it's helpful to have that reminder to be intentional with my actions and the content that I am consuming." 

Welcome! It's episode 2. Todays word is Antigodlin.   Recorded in between exam study and surgery prep, Michelle and Craig have a conversation that wends it's way through word association, etymology, phonetic spelling, a few too many uses of the word "like", and explore what it means to be antigodlin.
