After spending 48 hours in the emergency room last summer, doctors diagnosed me with Type 1 diabetes at 27 years old, a rare case of an autoimmune disease that hinders the pancreas' ability to produce insulin, the hormone responsible for regulating blood sugar levels as you go about your daily life. I've spent the last year learning my new body, but I still have so many questions about how to manage this relentless disease. Luckily, comedian Nick Callas (who performed in Portsmouth last month) is an expert on the subject because he's had it since he was six years old. And in today's bonus episode, he and I swap our diabetes stories, talk about how to manage it, and what YOU -- the non-diabetic -- can do to help make the diabetic in your life feel more at ease. According to the American Diabetes Association, 98,505 of New Hampshire residents have diabetes (8.7%). In Maine, it's 113,186 (10%). The total cost of managing diabetes in New Hampshire each year is $1.3B, and in Maine it's $1.4B. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention says 38.4M Americans are diabetic (11.6%). In Part Two of our conversation from his home office in New York City's Financial District, Nick and I get into: My Type 1 diabetes diagnosis in 2023 (00:00) Diabetes statistics in NH/Maine (05:17) Nick Callas on his T1 diabetes experience (06:52) How to manage diabetes (10:23) How you can help the diabetic in your life (26:26) Why Nick Callas is a T1 diabetes advocate (35:10) What is your mission? (37:05) Nick Callas is a New York City-based actor, rapper, and comedian. While playing at several prominent country clubs across the country, Nick has opened for comedy stars like Colin Jost, Dana Carvey, and Tracy Morgan. Currently on a comedy tour that's taking him to big cities like Austin, TX, and Chicago, Nick has also appeared in Portsmouth and Portland (ME), with plans to hit Auburn, ME, in July. His first comedy special, "Wolf Pup," premieres June 27 on the popular YouTube channel, 800 Pound Gorilla. --To watch Nick's comedy special on June 27, subscribe to the 800 Pound Gorilla YouTube channel so you get notified when it's live.

Every summer, hundreds of thousands of people flock to the Seacoast to take in Portsmouth's most beloved artistic tradition: The Prescott Park Arts Festival. Across 10 jam-packed weeks, the Festival hosts incredible weekly FREE concerts from big-name acts, a musical, and more in a breathtaking historical venue seated along the Piscataqua River. And this summer, the Festival celebrates its 50th anniversary, meaning 2024 will mark one of the most memorable Seacoast summers to date. The orchestrator of all this musical magic is the guest on the debut episode of "Seacoast Stories." In today's conversation from her office in Prescott Park, Perkins discusses: Courtney Perkins' Seacoast Story (00:00) Prescott Park's unique business model (06:54) The rich history of Prescott Park Arts Festival (11:22) The behind-the-scenes planning of Prescott Park Arts Festival (20:00) Plans for "Legally Blonde" this summer (30:20) What's your mission? (39:32) The state of the performing arts industry (40:36) Courtney Perkins is the Executive Director of the Prescott Park Arts Festival. After spending 13 years working behind-the-scenes for a prestigious orchestra in Chicago, Perkins took this job in Portsmouth four years ago, just as the COVID-19 pandemic began to wreak havoc on the live entertainment industry. --For more information on Prescott Park's summer calendar, as well as how you can help support the park and its mission, please visit PrescottPark.org. --To support the telling of more incredible Seacoast Stories, please FOLLOW this podcast on our Apple Podcasts and/or Spotify feeds.
Last month, Nick Callas performed at The Music Hall Lounge on a perfect Friday night in downtown Portsmouth. A friend and I attended the show, and we laughed out loud the entire time as Nick made jokes about Seacoast citizens with boats and the political climate in New England, among many other subjects. In Part One of our conversation from his home office in New York City's Financial District, Nick and I get into: Nick Callas' Seacoast Story (00:00) Thoughts on Portsmouth after performing there (03:10) Changes in the comedy industry (07:48) Nick Callas' comedy approach (10:38) Comedy and the heightened political climate (25:25) The making of "Wolf Pup" (32:06) Nick Callas is a New York City-based actor, rapper, and comedian. While playing at several prominent country clubs across the country, Nick has opened for comedy stars like Colin Jost, Dana Carvey, and Tracy Morgan.

Not All Geminis’ Courtney Perkins Says There’s A Reason Things Feel Topsy-Turvy Right Now Courtney Perkins answers FaceTime with a bewildered expression on her face and a bowl full of mac and cheese in her hands. Turns out she’s completely forgotten about our interview and was just about to dive into the queen of comfort foods — and you know what? It’s easy to forgive her. Not only because we’re living in unprecedented times and it’s hard as hell to remember anything, but also because she’s a Gemini, and this is such a Gemini thing to do. Perkins isn’t famous, but her work is. She’s the astro-meme-creating machine behind the popular @NotAllGeminis Instagram account, whose memes — like this perfect encapsulation of Geminis and this even more perfect encapsulation of girls with blue eyes — have hit a nerve with people who deeply identify with their sign’s characteristics. Turns out, that’s a lot of people: As of publication, @NotAllGeminis has nearly 600,000 followers. The 24-year-old Austin, Texas, native studied dramatic writing at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts before moving to Los Angeles two and a half years ago. Shortly after, she started @NotAllGeminis, born from her obsession with knowing everything about a person using their zodiac sign as a guide. “I have a horrific database of the sign of every person I've ever interacted with,” Perkins says. “And my computer broke in December and I paid like $200 for data extraction just to get that one folder. I couldn’t lose all that information — it's too important!” Perkins says she got into astrology in elementary school. “I just started reading this website that used to exist called Zodiac Girlz. It has since been taken down, but I loved it,” she says. “I even got a little Gemini T-shirt for my fifth grade birthday. And then in middle school, it was like, ‘OK, what's my crush’s sign?’” In high school, she dove into memes and then in college learned Photoshop while working at a comedy magazine. Later, Perkins started @NotAllGeminis just as a fun thing for her friends when she was stuck in a particularly unfulfilling and unstable production assistant job in Los Angeles. “I was just slamming my head against the wall, trying to think of what to do with all the down time, and so I started making astrology memes,” she says. “It was meant for my 30 dearest friends but it quickly became something bigger. It took off pretty fast, organically. I've never bought followers or anything. I was really lucky in the fact that I had just moved from New York and I'd been living in L.A. for a few months — and since I’m from Austin, I've got a ton of friends there… and they all would just share it to their friends.” One of the reasons for Perkins’ popularity could be that largely nonreligious millennials are interested in something spiritual that’s not so intense — although sure, there’s the occasional battle in the comments. But largely? “We’re not having crusades over astrology,” she says. She adds that a key component to many major religions is that God is viewed as “above” the followers. “Astrology feels like an equalizer,” she says. “Everyone in the world has a birthday.” Perkins says that although people turn to astrology in times like these to look for answers — “I think when our fears are large and looming, [astrology] adds order to make sense of the chaos” — her account actually hasn’t experienced a major uptick in followers. “It’s being countered by the amount of people trying to reduce screen time or use this time as a break who are deleting Instagram for the sake of their own mental health,” she says. There’s also a new platform competing for eyeballs: “TikTok!” That said, there’s a lot going on, astrologically speaking. “Saturn and Pluto are closer than they have been in years, and every time that happens, some sh*t goes down,” she says. “The same things are going on in the sky right now that were going on during the 1918 influenza, the Black Plague, and I think the Great Depression.” Although Perkins cautions that she’s more of a commentator on astrology than an astrologer (although she’s done plenty of reading on the subject), she believes that we can break down what’s happening right now, planet by planet. “Mercury was retrograde in Pisces during February and March — a phenomenon that affects communication and travel for the worse,” she says. “Pisces is already a sign associated with confusion, as its ruling planet, Neptune presides over magic, but also illusion.” She says that’s when the spread of the virus began taking off around the world — during a time characterized by misinformation. Perkins adds that many astrologers are currently looking at the outer planets, saying that in January, Pluto (planet of transformations) and Saturn (planet of rigid structure) met for the first time in almost 40 years. She also says Pluto and Jupiter will be traveling within a few degrees of each other over the next year, and that Jupiter, as the planet of expansion, amplifies whatever it comes across. In this case, that would be Pluto, the planet of transformations — and viruses. “The same phenomenon took place during the 1918 influenza,” she says. Astrology has always been a salve in Perkins’ life, and that’s true now more than ever. “It’s a gateway to the conversations people really want to [have],” she says. “It’s a bonding experience to talk to someone about their birth chart and see what kinds of questions they ask because it indicates what they really care about. I take comfort in growing closer to people through astrology.” And, just like her bowl of mac and cheese, there’s a lot of comfort in that right now.

You definitely know Courtney Perkins, but probably from the astrological memes from her Instagram @notallgeminis. As a Gemini herself, Courtney joins Erika and Faye to defend against the Gemini stigma and teach us a bit about ourselves.
We asked Courtney Perkins, creator of the hilariously accurate @NotAllGeminis Instagram account, to answer our questions about astrology and relationships. Which signs are most compatible? Which pairings will have the worst breakups? What’s the difference between sun, moon, Mars, and Venus signs, and how do they influence the way we date? All this, plus Courtney explains how she saw the Brangelina trainwreck coming and why Geminis are just misunderstood.Hosted by Maeve Higgins. Brought to you by Reese Witherspoon and Hello Sunshine.

On episode eight of Sordid History, my friend Courtney Perkins and I dissect some seriously heinous shit Jon Hamm did during his time at the University of Texas. In doing so, we discuss kidneys, fires, and whole lot (some may argue too much) about the male anatomy. It may have only been one night, but for this pledge, it felt like a fraternity.
