I met rapper, writer, visual artist, and technical octuple threat Rhys Langston when he opened for This Is Your Afterlife's 200th guest, Open Mike Eagle, at a show in Cleveland. As I say to him in this episode, there were telltale signs he was my type of guy. I think he'll be your type of guy too. We recorded near the end of the NBA playoffs, as my partner and I were deepening our Cavs and general basketball fandom, and it just so happens Rhys has an entire former life as a basketball player. And that's not even his coma! Enjoy our conversation, and do yourself the favor of checking out his music. It's especially good for summer.We talk about: working in multiple art forms, the tingle vs. the cold sweats, being too intense, amassing an archive of your own work, brain breaking after calling off an engagement, how many notebooks he uses at once, (Long) COVID & brain fog, wishing your art was more of a conversation, anhedonia, berries from the neighbor's yard, George Jackson, Octavia Butler, My Life as a Night Elf Priest.This Is Your Afterlife is made possible by listeners like you on Patreon.

Head to patreon.com/thisisyourafterlife to hear this full episode and all the others for just $5 a month.This solo episode was an experiment. Of the things that have occupied my thoughts recently, I picked two, made one a starting point and the other an endpoint, and improvised my way from A to B. I'm pretty happy with it! As always, I'd love to know what you think.I talk about: no one actually understands AI, harm reduction, bubbles bursting, property over people, inane job interviews, reckoning with Tarkovsky, echo chambers, losing dreams, news flash: unemployment is hard and sad.Support the show and get the TIYA After Dark feed on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/thisisyourafterlifeDr. Fatima: How to (Anti) AI Better:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y85nqc2zm7MAnthopic, OpenAI Should Not Be Allowed to IPO, Says Ed Zitron:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbKDmkJPVvIFracTracker's U.S. Data Centers Tracker:https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/5a4d072ad01449bba5698a80103fb909/page/MapStop Bad Data Centers:https://datacenters.halttheharm.net/Food & Water WatchNo More New Data Centers!:https://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/2025/11/06/no-more-new-data-centers/How to Stop a Data Center Near You:https://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/2026/03/05/how-to-stop-a-data-center-near-you/Stop Data Centers Now!

Cultural critic & friend of the show Madeline Lane-McKinley joins my conversation with Sean O'Brien about their book The Return of the 90s: A Cultural History of the Present for the end of another two-episode week! Or am I joining their conversation? Doesn't matter! It's a great one because not only do we get to explore in greater depth the project of the book, in the back half of the episode it gets personal, as we explore how the project of periodization has affected them as people. Plus, we all share our "most 90s" memories.Support the show and get the TIYA After Dark feed on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/thisisyourafterlifeThe Return of the 90s: A Cultural History of the Present:https://www.plutobooks.com/product/the-return-of-the-90s/Solidarity with Children: An Essay Against Adult Supremacy:https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2610-solidarity-with-childrenFollow them both and find out about book events:https://twitter.com/la_louve_rouge_https://www.instagram.com/la_louve_rouge_/https://twitter.com/sean_obeehttps://www.instagram.com/sean_ob/Be on the lookout for Sean's Keywords for Value and Culture, edited with Thomas Waller for CLCWeb, and Growing Pains, coming out through Textual Practice:https://docs.lib.purdue.edu/clcweb/https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/rtpr20Listen to Sean on Genre Reveal Party!, my movie podcast with Madeline:https://pod.link/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5jYXB0aXZhdGUuZm0vZ2VucmUtcmV2ZWFsLXBhcnR5Lw/episode/N2VkOTY1M2ItOTgwMy00OWQwLWIyZmQtYzdlNDA2M2QyYTlmFollow/contact This Is Your Afterlife:https://thisisyourafterlife.com/https://www.instagram.com/thisisyourafterlife/thisisyourafterlifepodcast@gmail.comMusic by TIYA house band Lake Mary:https://lakemary.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/chaz.prymek/Artwork by Matt Sage:https://www.instagram.com/matthewjsage/

I don't tend to use the word "periodizing" for the project of This Is Your Afterlife, but when I ask my guests, "What's your coma?," I'm absolutely "categorizing the past into discrete, quantified, and named blocks of time for the purpose of study or analysis" (thanks, Wikipedia). Periodization is the explicit project of The Return of the 90s: A Cultural History of the Present, a new book edited by Sean O'Brien and TIYA friend Madeline Lane-McKinley. In another two-episode week, I'm talking to them about this cultural criticism project and personalizing it. What world did the 90s leave us with? What do we make of the decade's resurgence? And what does it mean if the world we remember never existed in the first place?First up is Sean's solo episode, in which I roll out the purple carpet to give him the same TIYA treatment Madeline got with her solo episode. Then on Friday, I talk to them both in a more free-form conversation about the book, so stay tuned!We talk: an intro to Marxism, the need for sleep, WIRED magazine, afterlife as anti-work utopia, prostrating at the altar of academia, lessons he learned from watching his mother die with grace.Support the show and get the TIYA After Dark feed on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/thisisyourafterlifeThe Return of the 90s: A Cultural History of the Present:https://www.plutobooks.com/product/the-return-of-the-90s/Follow Sean and find out about book events:https://twitter.com/sean_obeehttps://www.instagram.com/sean_ob/Listen to Sean on Genre Reveal Party!, my movie podcast with Madeline:https://pod.link/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5jYXB0aXZhdGUuZm0vZ2VucmUtcmV2ZWFsLXBhcnR5Lw/episode/N2VkOTY1M2ItOTgwMy00OWQwLWIyZmQtYzdlNDA2M2QyYTlmFollow/contact This Is Your Afterlife:https://thisisyourafterlife.com/https://www.instagram.com/thisisyourafterlife/thisisyourafterlifepodcast@gmail.comMusic by TIYA house band Lake Mary:https://lakemary.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/chaz.prymek/Artwork by Matt Sage:https://www.instagram.com/matthewjsage/

Is gossip the only thing people want from their media these days? Is your own taste to the contrary evidence of an audience for something different? What do you do when you want to create work that engages culture thoughtfully in a format longer than a single TikTok? The answer for Jeff Weiss is: double down on the publication you started as a rap blog in 2005, which has launched the careers of many excellent writers and influenced culture in mind-boggling ways, like helping to solve murders and free people from prison.Upon launching a subscription model for POW MAG, Jeff wrote an essay that resonated with frequent This Is Your Afterlife concerns: transformation, physical media, and creating sustainably outside the boundaries of corporations. I had to talk to him. In this conversation, I related to Jeff's fullness of opinions while deeply resisting the take-based attention economy. It's not that we hate gossip. We just don't want it forced on us!We talk about: manifestos, information DOESN'T want to be free, finally becoming the writer he wants to be in 200 years, boring ancestors, Drakeo the Ruler and a couple grisly details of his murder, searching for justice in the U.S. criminal legal system, the existence of evil, being an L.A. times bestseller.Support the show and get the TIYA After Dark feed on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/thisisyourafterlifeSubscribe to POW MAG:https://www.powmag.net/Follow Jeff, POW, The Truth Hurts podcast & POW Recordings:https://www.instagram.com/passionweiss/https://www.instagram.com/pow.mag/https://www.instagram.com/thetruthhurtspod/https://www.instagram.com/powrecordings/Jeff's "manifesto" for the new era of POW MAG:https://www.powmag.net/p/pow-mag-enters-a-new-eraJeff's book, Waiting for Britney Spears:https://bookshop.org/p/books/waiting-for-britney-spears-a-true-story-allegedly-jeff-weiss/b171e91273f92b93And as I promise in the episode, here are links to some key pieces Jeff wrote about Drakeo the Ruler.Death:https://lamag.com/theindustry/the-assassination-of-drakeo-the-ruler/Legacy and family three years after his death:https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2025-02-25/commentary-still-no-justice-for-rapper-drakeo-three-years-after-killingMurder trial:https://www.thefader.com/2019/07/11/drakeo-the-ruler-murder-trial-los-angeles-reportFollow/contact This Is Your Afterlife:https://thisisyourafterlife.com/https://www.instagram.com/thisisyourafterlife/thisisyourafterlifepodcast@gmail.comMusic by TIYA house band Lake Mary:https://lakemary.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/chaz.prymek/Artwork by Matt Sage:https://www.instagram.com/matthewjsage/

Head to patreon.com/thisisyourafterlife to hear this full episode and all the others for just $5 a month.You can also purchase just this standalone episode for $3 here: patreon.com/posts/nasty-squeezes-158644003Sarah Knittel is a clown, actor, producer, deviser, previous TIYA guest, my close friend, a comrade-in-arms when it comes to DIY solo performance, and one of the people I consult most often on creative process questions. Her show Nightmare Fuel, which she brought to the Edinburgh Fringe the first year I went before we'd even met, includes a concept called "nasty squeezes." A nasty squeeze may contain elements of pubescent longing, anticipation, danger, sexual fantasy, and joie de vivre. Yet it's more than any one of those things, and there's no set formula. It's a fecund topic, and I've thought for a while it would make for a great podcast.So here it is, episode 00001 of Nasty Squeezes, in which Sarah explains the genesis of the phrase, we struggle to define the concept succinctly, and we lay the groundwork for future episodes of Nasty Squeezes. This was a blast to do, so if you like it, let us know! We'd love to do more under the umbrella of TIYA After Dark for now, but we've got nothing set in stone.We talk about: getting your tit touched, Mark Hoppus, cautionary tales (DO NOT DO THESE THINGS WE ARE DESCRIBING), Hard Copy, Jerry Springer, no-ring wrestling, Yahoo! checkers.Support the show and get the TIYA After Dark feed on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/thisisyourafterlifeFollow Sarah:https://www.instagram.com/sarahkmonster/Follow/contact This Is Your Afterlife:https://thisisyourafterlife.com/https://www.instagram.com/thisisyourafterlife/thisisyourafterlifepodcast@gmail.comMusic by TIYA house band Lake Mary:https://lakemary.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/chaz.prymek/Artwork by Matt Sage:https://www.instagram.com/matthewjsage/

Pod Casty for Me week on This Is Your Afterlife concludes with a silly, serious, thorough, and discursive episode with that podcast's other host, Jake Serwin. I'm pleased to say our internet interactions have blossomed into an actual friendship, and I'm not at all insecure about how much I text him after the bit about "Lisa Lampanelli" he does at the top of the episode. Nah nah nah, c'mon, Jake is quick, funny, perceptive, irreverent, and a great hang. Enjoy the second of these episodes with my favorite movie guys who are also political guys.We talk about: toilet humor, being the sibling of a cancer kid, Y2K fear, depression, artful droppings, poststructural theory, ketamine therapy, hyper-vigilance, the poor timing of 9/11, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, The Old Guard, the Universal Studios backlot tram tour, another Pod Casty hiking memory, what red Gatorade is made for, his movie recs for TIYA listeners.Support the show and get the TIYA After Dark feed on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/thisisyourafterlifeFollow Pod Casty for Me:https://www.podcastyforme.com/https://patreon.com/PodCastyForMehttps://www.instagram.com/podcastyforme/https://twitter.com/podcastyformeFollow/contact This Is Your Afterlife:https://thisisyourafterlife.com/https://www.instagram.com/thisisyourafterlife/thisisyourafterlifepodcast@gmail.comMusic by TIYA house band Lake Mary:https://lakemary.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/chaz.prymek/Artwork by Matt Sage:https://www.instagram.com/matthewjsage/

Ian Rhine is "one of the guys" who host Pod Casty for Me, my current favorite podcast. He and Jake Serwin talk about film and politics, and their deep friendship is evident in every episode. I find it illuminating and comforting and fun, and, wouldn't you know it, that's also how I feel about this conversation with Ian. I split him from Jake for another two-episode week, so stay tuned for Jake on Part 2. Ian and Jake joined me on a bonus episode a few months back to talk about Exorcist III, so these appearances on TIYA proper are overdue! I really love these guys, and I hope you do too.We talk about: each other's podcasts, bodies of work, depression, suicidal ideation, cognitive behavioral therapy, the stuff you're worried about mostly not happening, becoming a Movie Guy, the liberation theology to Politics Guy pipeline, hiking in Glacier National Park, his movie rec for TIYA listeners.Support the show and get the TIYA After Dark feed on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/thisisyourafterlifeFollow Pod Casty for Me:https://www.podcastyforme.com/https://patreon.com/PodCastyForMehttps://www.instagram.com/podcastyforme/https://twitter.com/podcastyformeFollow/contact This Is Your Afterlife:https://thisisyourafterlife.com/https://www.instagram.com/thisisyourafterlife/thisisyourafterlifepodcast@gmail.comMusic by TIYA house band Lake Mary:https://lakemary.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/chaz.prymek/Artwork by Matt Sage:https://www.instagram.com/matthewjsage/

That's exactly why we're here today. Afterheads, I present to you the Afterlife Power Rankings. My long-time comedy collaborators Daniel Strauss and Drennen Quinn join TIYA After Dark to rank eight separate afterlives, but first, we discuss the Pixar movie Soul, since Lucia Whalen mentioned it on her recent episode. I'll update the Afterlife Power Rankings from time to time on the podcast, but those updates will all be reincarnations of this very first list. You're in on the ground floor. How did we do?In addition to assembling the APR and Soul talk, we play a game of Real vs. Fake: Jazz Venues!We talk about: Soul; jazz; achieving your dream and still feeling disappointed; Afterlife Movie Club & other film representations of the afterlife; Panama City Beach, Florida; DO NOT LIVE EVERY DAY LIKE IT'S YOUR LAST.Support the show and get the TIYA After Dark feed on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/thisisyourafterlifeRead the pieces I mention that discuss Blackness in Soul better than we can:"As a Black Woman, Here Are the Issues I Have With Pixar's 'Soul'" by Sa'iyda Shabazz:https://www.scarymommy.com/soul-pixar-black-character-represntation-harmful"Soul: The Missteps in Representation" by Kelechi Ehenulo:https://confessionsfromageekmind.com/2020/12/28/soul-the-missteps-in-representation/Follow Daniel and Drennen:https://www.instagram.com/danielstrauss/https://www.instagram.com/drennenwon/Follow/contact This Is Your Afterlife:https://thisisyourafterlife.com/https://www.instagram.com/thisisyourafterlife/thisisyourafterlifepodcast@gmail.comMusic by TIYA house band Lake Mary:https://lakemary.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/chaz.prymek/Artwork by Matt Sage:https://www.instagram.com/matthewjsage/

Place-Goers Week continues on TIYA, an acronym my guest—comedian/actor/YouTuber Danny Catlow—attempts to pronounce in this episode and we agree doesn't quite roll off the tongue. WE COVER SO MUCH GROUND IN THIS EPISODE. It starts with talk of how we met each other when my improv group Computer stayed on his couch for a festival in Austin when he was 18 and I was in my mid-20s. Strange! And then it ramps up (or cooks down?) into an exploration of grief in its many forms as Danny attempts to break the podcast's record for number of "comas" mentioned in an episode.We talk about: male hosting, sleep anxiety, bad breakup, mom dying young, contrarianism & shamelessness, play therapy, falling in love with restaurants, kids grieving performatively, Six Feet Under, mono no aware.Support the show and get the TIYA After Dark feed on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/thisisyourafterlifeFollow Danny:https://www.youtube.com/@Place-Goershttps://www.instagram.com/strongdannycatlow/Follow/contact This Is Your Afterlife:https://thisisyourafterlife.com/https://www.instagram.com/thisisyourafterlife/thisisyourafterlifepodcast@gmail.comMusic by TIYA house band Lake Mary:https://lakemary.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/chaz.prymek/Artwork by Matt Sage:https://www.instagram.com/matthewjsage/

I've become a weekly watcher of Kate O'Connor's YouTube vlog, Place-Goers, which features her going places with her boyfriend, Danny Catlow. I know both comedians—and unapologetic YouTubers!—from doing comedy in Chicago, but since they live in L.A. now, that's the site of most of their place-going. Their dynamic is great together, but for their TIYA appearances, I wanted to talk to them separately. These are the first two-part episodes featuring collaborators in a long time, and it's the very first two-episode week for the podcast.We talk about: relationship patterns, increasing bone density, Jungian therapy, being a gamer, codependency, abusive relationships, the euphoria of witnessing death, Delta Work and frying the small fish.Support the show and get the TIYA After Dark feed on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/thisisyourafterlifeFollow Kate:http://www.youtube.com/@Place-Goershttps://thebrokenelbow.substack.com/Follow/contact This Is Your Afterlife:https://thisisyourafterlife.com/https://www.instagram.com/thisisyourafterlife/thisisyourafterlifepodcast@gmail.comMusic by TIYA house band Lake Mary:https://lakemary.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/chaz.prymek/Artwork by Matt Sage:https://www.instagram.com/matthewjsage/

Kirsten, Ed & Alex sit down with Tiya Gordon, co-founder and COO of It's Electric, to explore how curbside EV charging can unlock electric vehicle adoption in dense cities like New York, Boston, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. We discuss why most public EV chargers fail, how It's Electric uses spare building power to create neighborhood charging without expensive utility trenching, and why better urban charging infrastructure could be essential for the future of EVs, rideshare fleets, and robotaxis.

All-new type of bonus episode this week! I decided to visit the cemetery across the street from me, make my way to the grave of Cleveland working class artist hero and underground comics pioneer Harvey Pekar, and bring you all on the trip. This was a blast to record, and it's one of my favorite episodes of TIYA After Dark and maybe even the entire project of This Is Your Afterlife. Some of the audio is rough around the edges, especially in the bookshop and coffee shop, but those segments are quite short, so stick through if you're having trouble!I talk about: historical people, violent ways of networking, coffee mishaps, daffodils, expectation vs. reality, art about everyday life.Patreon is the only place to see pics from the trip!Get those, support the show, and listen to the full TIYA After Dark feed here:https://www.patreon.com/thisisyourafterlifeFollow/contact This Is Your Afterlife:https://thisisyourafterlife.com/https://www.instagram.com/thisisyourafterlife/thisisyourafterlifepodcast@gmail.comMusic by TIYA house band Lake Mary:https://lakemary.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/chaz.prymek/Artwork by Matt Sage:https://www.instagram.com/matthewjsage/

Chicago comedian and gem-of-a-person-to-talk-to Lucia Whalen returns to This Is Your Afterlife... for the first time? Lucia wanted a few things from episode 83 kept private, so I sent it to the great podcast beyond, and we took the opportunity to record a new conversation as episode 205. I honestly think we had even more fun than before! We're older, wiser, and Lucia is DEFINITELY prepared this time. Right, Lucia?We talk about: having a one-page worldview, the 2020 Pixar movie Soul, disappearing into oneness vs. losing consciousness, being present for her dad's heart attack, the lonely life of a touring standup comic, if clips on social media have changed the feeling in the room for standup shows, winning the lottery with your friends and family, our opinions of each other.Support the show and get the TIYA After Dark feed on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/thisisyourafterlifeFollow Lucia:https://www.instagram.com/luciawhalen/https://www.instagram.com/whatawastepod/See her quarterly variety show, Surprise!

It was very fun to do.I talk about: work, bosses, how much I love work and bosses in case any of mine are listening, Jury Duty Presents Company Retreat, DOGE, money laundering schemes, drop me 60, tell whoever you need to tell, Karl Marx.Support the show and get the TIYA After Dark feed on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/thisisyourafterlifeFollow/contact This Is Your Afterlife:https://thisisyourafterlife.com/https://www.instagram.com/thisisyourafterlife/thisisyourafterlifepodcast@gmail.comMusic by TIYA house band Lake Mary:https://lakemary.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/chaz.prymek/Artwork by Matt Sage:https://www.instagram.com/matthewjsage/

There's only one piece of music from 2026 so far that I've loved, but it's nearing the point of obsession: Wretched Blessing's "How Deep Is Your Love?," which features guitar work from previous TIYA guest Genital Shame! It's a cover of the Calvin Harris & Disciples song (not the Bee Gees), but there's an important note: Norwegian singer/songwriter Ina Wroldsen is uncredited on the original, despite singing the hook and co-writing the song. Wretched Blessing drummer and singer Rae Amitay emphasizes this in the liner notes on Bandcamp, and they brought it up on this episode.Rae and Wretched Blessing are attuned to the overlooked, as their songs frequently face evils that are regular conversation topics on TIYA: fascism, Zionism, complacency. It was a pleasure to hear Rae and Kayhan Vaziri, the other half of Wretched Blessing (who are real-life engaged), talk about the intersections of politics and art. They're sweet and fun people who make heavy music full of righteous rage. You get all of that here.We talk about: preaching to the choir; teaching kids music in School of Rock; high school exes; the mind-expanding benefits of travel; Crimethinc.; Zionist indoctrination; Gruyeres, Switzerland; HR Giger; and basically everyone on earth should be in a touring band maybe?Support the show and get the TIYA After Dark feed on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/thisisyourafterlifeFollow Wretched Blessing:https://wretchedblessing.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/wretchedblessing/Follow/contact This Is Your Afterlife:https://thisisyourafterlife.com/https://www.instagram.com/thisisyourafterlife/thisisyourafterlifepodcast@gmail.comMusic by TIYA house band Lake Mary:https://lakemary.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/chaz.prymek/Artwork by Matt Sage:https://www.instagram.com/matthewjsage/

"How can this possibly be the way?!" is a question Leigh Claire La Berge asks constantly in Fake Work: How I Began to Suspect Capitalism Is a Joke. The book is Leigh Claire's reflection on her time prepping a Fortune 500 company for Y2K by essentially making a bunch of copies, double-checking spreadsheets, and traveling internationally to give frivolous PowerPoint presentations. It's very funny! And unfortunately hella resonant! Leigh Claire jumped right into the deep end with me on this episode, and the result is one of my favorites in a while.We talk about: anxiety, Fake Work, fake work, marxism, really trying to understand how other people came to their beliefs, psychoanalysis, getting a PhD, making room for pleasure and humor in our politics.Support the show and get the TIYA After Dark feed on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/thisisyourafterlifeFollow Leigh Claire:https://www.instagram.com/marxforcats/https://twitter.com/marxforcatsAnd read her books!

I recently saw two movies that exemplified how I want to make political art: Neo Sora's "Happyend" and "Failed State" by Christopher Jason Bell and Mitch Blummer. Both films tell intimate stories that show rather than obscure the ways political systems influence their characters' lives. In this episode of This Is Your Afterlife, I'm grateful to talk to "Failed State" co-director Chris Bell about his approach to making political work and what makes him the artist and person he is. He's TIYA's first filmmaker guest!We talk about: DIY filmmaking, reconnecting with childhood friends, panic attacks, meditation, the mundanity of skydiving.Support the show and get the TIYA After Dark feed on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/thisisyourafterlifeFollow Chris:https://linktr.ee/christopherjasonbellhttps://means.tv/ (use his code, CHRISBELL, for 10% off)Follow/contact This Is Your Afterlife:https://thisisyourafterlife.com/https://www.instagram.com/thisisyourafterlife/thisisyourafterlifepodcast@gmail.comMusic by TIYA house band Lake Mary:https://lakemary.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/chaz.prymek/Artwork by Matt Sage:https://www.instagram.com/matthewjsage/

Michael Penn II, aka CRASHprez, makes two rapper episodes in a row! Not since Mike Watt has there been a This Is Your Afterlife guest slinging this much of their own lingo (what is it about Mikes?), and I do my best not to pretend too hard like I understand it all. Fortunately, we take a detour into the topic of slang ("getting kirk" is simply unbelievable) on the way to Michael revealing one of his origin stories as an artist. It's a small, powerful moment, the kind I love featuring on TIYA, and I'm glad he didn't save it for his eventual Rolling Stone interview.We talk about: gay shit, COVID shit, ally fatigue, underground rapper trade, social death theory, Lil Wayne's "The Carter" documentary, the relationship between actions and words.Support the show and get the TIYA After Dark feed on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/thisisyourafterlifeFollow CRASHprez:https://www.instagram.com/crashprez/https://crashprez.bandcamp.com/https://twitter.com/CRASHprezFollow/contact This Is Your Afterlife:https://thisisyourafterlife.com/https://www.instagram.com/thisisyourafterlife/thisisyourafterlifepodcast@gmail.comMusic by TIYA house band Lake Mary:https://lakemary.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/chaz.prymek/Artwork by Matt Sage:https://www.instagram.com/matthewjsage/

Sometimes a guest breaks my brain, like when Open Mike Eagle asks the titular question of this episode. I'm still parsing the way the question reorients consciousness in the body rather than as an entity separate from it. Maybe it's a basic thought, but it hit me fresh this time. But let me back up. OPEN MIKE EAGLE IS ON EPISODE 200 OF THIS IS YOUR AFTERLIFE. The rapper, podcaster, streamer, TV writer-performer-producer-creator, and independent art-making role model of mine has been a dream guest since I started the show. You can hear why at the beginning of the episode. This conversation took years to happen, and I'm so glad it did. He's a pro talker and an interesting thinker, and I came away deeply evaluating how I want to live, create, and move through the world, which is one of my favorite states of being. Is this the greatest TIYA episode of all time? It's in the running!And hey, thank you for listening to This Is Your Afterlife. It is a joy to produce, and it means more than words to me that you listen.We talk about: sad pigeon man, Edinburgh Fringe and Baby Reindeer, Comedy Central, Internal Family Systems therapy, professional jealousy, compartmentalizing, ways people don't listen, unapologetic art rap.Support the show and get the TIYA After Dark feed on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/thisisyourafterlifeFollow Open Mike Eagle:https://openmikeeagle.bandcamp.com/musichttps://www.youtube.com/@open_mike_eaglehttps://www.twitch.tv/open_mike_eaglehttps://www.instagram.com/open_mike_eagle/https://www.patreon.com/openmikeeaglePast Due podcast with Ana Marie Cox: https://pod.link/1207507389What Had Happened Was podcast: https://pod.link/whhwFollow/contact This Is Your Afterlife:https://thisisyourafterlife.com/https://www.instagram.com/thisisyourafterlife/thisisyourafterlifepodcast@gmail.comMusic by TIYA house band Lake Mary:https://lakemary.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/chaz.prymek/Artwork by Matt Sage:https://www.instagram.com/matthewjsage/

What's the MOST transformative life experience? This is the question we answer in this week's TIYA After Dark, Bracketology: Transformative Life Experiences."We" is several members of K.C. Redheart, my first improv team in Chicago at the Playground Theater: brilliant standup Meaghan Strickland, stupid (compliment) sketch comedian and improviser Bill Stern, and the very funny Nick Leveski (who improvises in Richmond, VA) and Mark "Huberman." These are some of my closest friends and oldest comedy collaborators, going back to 2008!Bracketology is a game show format we created where we a) pick a topic, b) fill a bracket with examples of that topic, and c) argue the matchups in the bracket until we crown a winner. The thing is, the winner of Bracketology is the quintessential example of the topic, NOT necessarily the "best" or our favorite example.If you want to follow along from the beginning without knowing the outcome of each match, here are the top 6 seeds we determined before the episode started:ComaHave KidsEpiphany — Drug-Induced, Art-Related ("See Fall Out Boy at Ryman"), Spiritual Awakening, Ego Death, Cultural (International Travel or Try New Food Whoa It's Good)SobrietyHad EnoughBig MoveI hope you love listening as much as we loved doing this.

KR Riiber wrote one of the best plays I've ever seen, Tangles & Plaques, a show about dementia and memory care borne from their time as an ensemble member of the Neo-Futurists, the Chicago theater group with core tenets like honesty, brevity, risk & chance, and transformation. Hmmmm, sound like any other show/podcast you know??? Jk, this is not exactly a "brevity" podcast. Truly though, the Neos have been a huge influence on my work, and I'm excited to finally welcome KR to the ranks of Neo-Futurists I've had on the show. The afterlife they imagine in response to the show's first big question is so rich and provides a scaffolding for everything else in the episode. What a treat!We talk about: divorce, Marfan syndrome, how live performance contains the possibility of failure, "graduating" from the Neo-Futurists, worry vs. practicality in response to traumatic news, a life-changing improv exercise.Support the show and get the TIYA After Dark feed on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/thisisyourafterlifeFollow KR:https://www.krriiber.com/Follow/contact This Is Your Afterlife:https://thisisyourafterlife.com/https://www.instagram.com/thisisyourafterlife/thisisyourafterlifepodcast@gmail.comMusic by TIYA house band Lake Mary:https://lakemary.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/chaz.prymek/Artwork by Matt Sage:https://www.instagram.com/matthewjsage/

Head to patreon.com/thisisyourafterlife to hear this full episode and all the others for just $5 a month.I got to talk about my favorite movie with the hosts of my favorite podcast! My guests this week, Pod Casty for Me's Jake Serwin and Ian Rhine, have not appeared on the main feed. YET! But I couldn't resist easing them into the TIYA universe with a talk about a movie I first saw in the fall of 2024 that has since become one of my all-time favorites: William Peter Blatty's Exorcist III! This is the most excited I've been to release an episode since relaunching the podcast, and that is really saying something. This is a wonderful conversation about faith, art, politics, and horror, on screen and in life, wrapped in a blanket of hating on Pete Holmes. Suffice it to say, you don't need to have seen the movie to enjoy this ep! But just FYI, it does spoil plot. I can't say E3 has edged out Bad Santa as my favorite movie ever, but I was not exaggerating when I said Pod Casty for Me is my favorite podcast. If you dig This Is Your Afterlife and want a podcast with a similar worldview but not similar subject matter, you should check out Jake and Ian's show. I hope you join the Patreon to hear the whole two and a half hour episode, and I'm even offering it as a standalone release over there for $3.

That's not something you expect to hear in an interview. But the prize-winning author of All That She Carried, Tiya Miles did not hesitate to say these words to IDEAS host, Nahlah Ayed. What prompted the moment was this question Nahlah asked: "You have this term 'liberation theology.' Is your book a kind of liberation history?" Tiya replied: "Oh my goodness, Nahlah. I love you!" And went on to say that her approach to history is all about liberation. Their conversation resonated with many listeners, including a potter in Australia who shares how this story sustains him after the loss of his wife. We also hear from a listening club in Nova Scotia who gather to discuss IDEAS episodes, and we find out how this program inspires everything from sonnets, to art and to recreating historic feasts. *This is the second episode in our 60th anniversary week-long series.

I went into this episode with a plan to rank holidays by how problematic/weird the people are who call them their favorites. Pretty much from the start, my plans got tossed, and I genuinely couldn't be happier.As you'll hear when Daniel SAVAGES my unassailable catchphrase, TIYA After Dark intentionally expands the scope of This Is Your Afterlife so I can do whatever I want. On a sincere note, frequent listeners know I've had to curtail live performance since COVID began, and that's a long time to go without one of my favorite/best-at things. Doing this particular episode with my longest comedy buddies scratched an itch that's been itchy for a long time. That's a big reason why I'm making TIYA After Dark "where anything goes," and I hope you enjoy where I'm taking it. This is just the beginning!We talk about: Experiencing holidays as a kid vs. an adult, pilgrim hat belt buckle bit, "let's drive," are all Jewish holidays rooted in misery?, brown foods & gravy.Support the show and get the TIYA After Dark feed on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/thisisyourafterlifeFollow Daniel and Drennen:https://www.instagram.com/danielstrauss/https://www.instagram.com/drennenwon/Follow/contact This Is Your Afterlife:https://thisisyourafterlife.com/https://www.instagram.com/thisisyourafterlife/thisisyourafterlifepodcast@gmail.comMusic—except the song at the end of this episode ;)—by This Is Your Afterlife house band Lake Mary:https://lakemary.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/chaz.prymek/Artwork by Matt Sage:https://www.instagram.com/matthewjsage/

After a year away, This Is Your Afterlife is back! One of the highlights of my year, creatively and culturally, was dipping my toe into black metal. The extreme music genre inspired my performance art installation, Black Metal Rooftop, which I expanded into a talk show called Black Metal Patio. My house band and musical guest for BMP was Genital Shame, a trans black metal artist from Pittsburgh who now lives in L.A. Real name: Erin Dawson. Genital Shame's Chronic Illness Wish was one of the records that cemented my interest in black metal. In between discovering her music last year and doing Black Metal Patio together in July, my friendship with Erin really began with recording this episode of TIYA, making it an ideal first episode for the podcast's relaunch. We talk about: black metal lyricism, evangelical Christian upbringings, creative process guilt, breakup memories, undermining the toxic positivity of trans coming out narratives on social media, very specific tastes in art and dating, Erin's favorite Cincinnati nickname joke.Support the show and get the TIYA After Dark feed on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/thisisyourafterlifeFollow Genital Shame:https://www.instagram.com/genitalshame/https://genitalshame.bandcamp.com/Follow/contact This Is Your Afterlife:https://thisisyourafterlife.com/https://www.instagram.com/thisisyourafterlife/thisisyourafterlifepodcast@gmail.comAll music by This Is Your Afterlife house band Lake Mary:https://lakemary.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/chaz.prymek/Artwork by Matt Sage:https://www.instagram.com/matthewjsage/

In this episode of the AlchemistX Innovators Inside Podcast, Ian Bergman sits down with Tiya Gordon, co-founder & CEO of It's Electric, to unpack a deceptively simple approach to urban EV charging: power curbside chargers from the buildings they sit beside. Tiya shares how “shallow tech” beats heavy infrastructure, why cities and property owners say yes, and how this model accelerates electrification without trenching streets or tapping new utility feeds.We cover:“Left of the boom”: designing for climate resilience before the crisisThe behind-the-meter model (240V/40A) and two-day installsFree-to-city, revenue-share for buildings, and amenity upsideShifting EV load to overnight to balance grids (vs. daytime destination charging)Serving 40M street-parkers and rideshare drivers (NYC's Green Rides)Beating legacy players, winning Boston, and first curbside installs in SF & DetroitDesign-thinking as a founder superpower outside “energy/power” pedigreesThe used-EV wave and what falling prices mean for adoptionIf urban electrification is on your roadmap—or you just want a playbook for practical innovation at scale—don't miss this conversation with Tiya Gordon.For full show notes and resources visit: https://www.alchemistaccelerator.com/podcasts

In this insightful episode of the Venture Capital Podcast, hosts Jon Bradshaw and Peter Harris are joined by Tiya Gordon, co-founder and CEO of It's Electric, and Olaf Sakkers, managing partner at Red Blue Capital. Together, they explore the rapidly evolving electric vehicle (EV) landscape, shedding light on market dynamics, industry challenges, and transformative opportunities shaping the future of mobility and energy.Tiya shares her experience leading a Brooklyn-based startup that delivers curbside EV chargers, providing innovative solutions to overcome infrastructure barriers and enable wider EV adoption, especially in urban environments. She highlights the critical need for accessible charging infrastructure, urban-centric solutions, and the potential for bidirectional energy flows that turn EVs into mobile energy storage units supporting city grids.Olaf, a seasoned investor with deep expertise in mobility, logistics, and energy transition, offers a global perspective on EV market shifts. He discusses China's dominance in EV manufacturing, the complex political and economic factors impacting U.S. EV adoption, and the broader vision of transforming transportation beyond passenger vehicles, emphasizing heavy-duty EV trucks and micromobility solutions as key areas of innovation.The conversation delves into the cultural, regulatory, and infrastructural hurdles slowing EV adoption in the U.S., including tariff impacts, urban planning challenges, and entrenched interests favoring traditional car ownership. Tiya and Olaf discuss promising opportunities for founders and investors, from scalable last-mile delivery electrification to innovative micromobility and multi-modal electric transit solutions.Listeners will gain a nuanced understanding of the intersection between technology, policy, infrastructure, and consumer behavior in the EV ecosystem, along with actionable insights on where meaningful innovation and impact can happen next.

The first step to creating widespread change in energy? Know the problem you need to solve. For Tiya Gordon, cofounder & COO of It's Electric, that problem was this: More people would get EVs if they were easier to charge in big cities. So? She got to work creating a solution in the first curbside EV charging system built for metro areas. This week on Piloting the Future, Tiya and Mike Lake, President & CEO of Leading Cities, join Kim and Lee to share the nitty gritty on building their partnership and the first behind-the-meter public curbside charger solution. The episode is packed with insights on building ideas into startups and startups into scalable businesses. Tiya explains how It's Electric avoided the logjams of direct utility connection for charging infrastructure. Mike explains how he evaluates startups for investment and backing, from innovation to leadership. And Kim and Lee lead us through tons more. This conversation is loaded with real-world insights into the process of creating change, one city and one idea at a time.

Today, we're excited to have Tiya Gordon, founder of It's Electric, back on the pod to discuss their progress since we last spoke in early 2024. She also gives us a big update on what's happening in the curbside charging space across the US. With the federal funding support being pulled, a lot of cities are facing challenges in meeting their electrification goals. It's Electric is thriving by helping them get curbside chargers in place with ZERO up-front costs. As if that wasn't enough, they also help building owners earn extra revenue. A true win-win solution. Tune in for some golden nuggets on what the market is doing now and an absolute master class on how to build a high-performance team at an early-stage clean tech startup. Links**Tiya Gordon | It's Electric**Listen to the first episode we did with Tiya - $167**#167 Urban Charging, Electrifying Cities, Pilots & Partnerships, & More w/ Tiya Gordon (It's Electric)**Connect with Somil on LinkedIn | Connect with Silas on LinkedIn**Follow CleanTechies on LinkedIn to fill your feeds with educational content **This podcast is NOT investment advice.

The Rise in EV AdoptionThe US electric vehicle (EV) market is expected to reach a revenue of $95.9 billion this year, with a projected annual growth rate of 12.61% over the course of the next four years. By 2035, California and twelve other states are planning to achieve 100% zero-emission new vehicle sales, calling upon local governments to assist in the EV transition to ensure equitable access to this new technology. For homeowners who have the ability to power up in their own garage, making the transition to EVs is relatively easy; however, for renters and those living in larger metropolitan areas, access to charging infrastructure remains a significant challenge. Although EV adoption is on the rise, urban areas are under constraint as they do not have sufficient charging infrastructure to keep up with heightening demand. High building density, limited capacity of the electricity grid, and insufficient funding and staffing are posing challenges for city governments across the country. Brooklyn-based startup, It's Electric, is working on one possible solution to this problem through the installation of curbside charging, powered from buildings on the adjacent property rather than directly from the utility grid. Building EV Charging AccessibilityCurbside charging works by minimizing the distance consumers need to travel to fuel their EV, thereby increasing accessibility of charging infrastructure. Many dense-urban areas have been referred to as “charging deserts,” due to their lack of accessible EV charging infrastructure, making the transition in these areas particularly challenging. Instead of the mainstream route in which charging infrastructure is developed through utility connections (which can be a 12 to 18 month process), startups like It's Electric partner with property owners, acquire the relevant permits, and install and maintain a charger powered by the building's electrical supply. Property owners can thus use untapped electricity supplies, allowing for installation without extensive infrastructure development or direct connections, providing property owners with passive revenue. Instead of working directly with electric utilities to install their chargers, It's Electric partners with municipalities and building owners directly. Further, the parking space will be maintained by the city, so the property owner doesn't need to worry about managing and maintaining the parking spot.Benefits of Curbside ChargingCurbside charging provides immense promise for city governments in transitioning towards more equitable access of EV charging infrastructure. For lower-income communities – particularly those without access to private driveways, garages, or who reside in multifamily housing – publicly accessible EV charging can help reduce barriers to participation in the ongoing shift to electric vehicles. As curbside charging is still in the beginning stages of development, policymakers can incorporate community members in decision-making. Thus, EV charging can be largely community-driven, incorporating opinions from local residents to make the transition fit the needs of the community. In dense urban areas, curbside charging can assist in reducing pollution and GHG emissions, particularly in high-emissions neighborhoods. Other strategies to keep in mind include providing discounts and cost reduction measures for lower income drivers as well as strategies like car share, mobility hubs, and colocation with other transportation services to improve accessibility. DrawbacksWithout addressing lower-income communities and those living in rental properties, EV charging can exacerbate current socioeconomic disparities and push marginalized communities out of the growing market. Thus, in tackling this transition, focus must be placed on targeted communities that lack the necessary resources to successfully adopt EVs. It's Electric has noted that there is more demand than they can meet right now, which represents the urgent call for this transition to occur. It's Electric is currently integrating Level 2 chargers into city infrastructure, rather than the faster direct current (DC) chargers that can power one's vehicle in 15-30 minutes. Because DC chargers take up significant amounts of space, require more infrastructure to develop, and utilize more electricity, it is not yet feasible to implement these in urban areas. Unfortunately, that leads to slower charging times and potentially limits an area's charging capacity. Another drawback of curbside charging in large cities can be attributed to limited sidewalk space and thus heightened demand for the few available units. Amidst these potential challenges, It's Electric has successfully resolved problems such as grid capacity and design by providing affordable, easy to install, and compact charging stations. By working collectively with policymakers, urban planners, transportation specialists, and community members, companies like It's Electric have begun to make curbside charging a reality.Who is Tiya Gordon?Tiya Gordon, co-founder of It's Electric, is transforming the way we approach EV charging by reimagining how publicly accessible chargers are integrated into public spaces.

How much do you know about Araminta Ross? Her face is slated to start appearing on the twenty dollar bill by 2030. She's the first American woman in history to lead a military raid that emancipated over 700 people, and one of the most important abolitionists in history. You might know her by another name: Harriet Tubman. But when it comes to Harriet Tubman's legacy, an important part of her lived experience is often overlooked: her disability. With July being disability pride month, we wanted to celebrate Harriet Tubman as an icon and learn more about her identity from someone who finds her “often rightly celebrated, but seldom understood.” That someone is Tiya Miles, a National Book Award-winner and the Michael Garvey Professor of History at Harvard University. In her latest book, "Night Flyer: Harriet Tubman and the Faith Dreams of a Free People," Tiya writes about the somewhat unsung aspects of Harriet Tubman's life—her intertwined relationship with God and nature—which guided her activism and connected her to a collective of other women of her time. Through “Nightflyer,” Tiya proves that even when it comes to the most heralded historical figures, there's always more to say. And today, she joins us to tell us all about her new book, connect past and present, and offer lessons from Harriet's life that can help us build a future of collective liberation.
