Ep. 50 - Alex Southey's Worst Song: Anxiety and Community
We made it to 50! Nuts. As a fun anniversary/marker thing, Jess Roveda thought it would be fun to have me be a guest some time. We landed on episode 50 and so here it is. I was an open book for Jess and she ended up kind of getting my autobiography out of me. We do talk about some trigger warning material such as mental health/break downs and binge drinking, so keep that in mind if you choose to listen. Overall though, it was a very sunny anniversary episode thanks to Jess's sunny demeanour and inviting work as an interviewer.I don't know if anyone reads these things but, ironically, this is even more of a snapshot in time than I realised at the time of recording (late December) because I'm drinking again as of this release date (mid Feb). I didn't drink from Oct 15 to... Feb 1? Something like that. I felt enough time had passed I could keep drinking just to social occasions, and to few drinks. I felt like I still wanted to relate to people in that specific way for a while longer, for better or worse. So far, so good.Anyway, this is really about music.Enjoy.Follow the podcast and don't miss an episode!Show your support for the podcast by joining the $5/month Patreon, here: patreon.com/YourWorstSongPodcastTheme song, "SilksRapThing", written and performed by Alex Southey.
