Brian Talks To Humans!

I'm back! This time, my friend Katie returns to discuss her journey of discovery as a late-realized auDHDer and the role of memes in both the discovery of neurodivergence for many people and the way we communicate with each other and the "neurotypicals" in our lives. We end with an onion realization and few rounds of "one gotta go." Thanks for listening! More info at www.briantalkstohumans.net - P...

hi, folks - another video AND audio solo episode to hold us over until i can get another fun interview scheduled... in this episode, i pulled a clip from one of my fantasy football podcasts (link to the channel below) wherein i discuss how i processed an angry reaction to something seemingly small and how it relates to neurodivergence and mental health... i also touched on the idea of giving each...

I made a video to tell people I love all about how magical and meaningful experiencing Phish's New Year's Eve show at Madison Square Garden was. I figured I'd make it a solo podcast episode, too. I weave together a lovely story leading up to this past week and the moments of joy Phish provided. video on my non-channel YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/uLlpO5GRo_g

This is part 3 of my interview with Rosie. We talk politics, neurodivergence, medical trauma, and where Rosie is at in her life these days. We end with some games and a final word. As with the previous two parts, be aware we discuss heavy topics. Please subscribe, rate, and review. Thanks for listening!

This is part 2 of my interview w/Rosie. In this segment, we discuss her sexual and gender identity, eating disorders, addiction, recovery, college, and some of her professional life. As with parts 1 and 3, please be aware we address heavy topics like those I just mentioned as well as sexual assault, religion, and mental health. Please subscribe, rate, and review. Thanks for listening!

I'm back! I really enjoyed interviewing my new friend, Rosie. Like me, she has the autistic/ADHD combo. I'm splitting this episode into three parts. In part 1, we mostly discuss Rosie's early life, including growing up in a theater family and some impactful traumas. Please note: These Rosie episodes discuss mental health, death, eating disorders, sexual assault, medical trauma, and other heavy top...

so glad to post a new full episode with my friend Lia. I know Lia from 12-step spaces and love them to pieces. Like me, they identify as neurodivergent. We discuss many things, including moving though life while constantly getting the message you are not what you are supposed to be -- and recovering from our pasts. TW: This conversation includes references to trichotillomania, self-harm, suicidal...

I'm back after a (too) long hiatus to re-re-re-boot the podcast! In this short intro to where we're at, I catch you up on some recent personal developments and some plans I have for the show moving forward.

I'm changing plans and going on summer hiatus this year. I'll see you in September.

In this episode I continue to profile socialists, this time chatting with Jeff. More info and links can be found on www.briantalkstohumans.net

We're back after a bit of a break with a new episode, another profile of a socialist. This episode features Theodore. We discuss a range of topics that shaped his personal and political evolution. I hope you enjoy. Thanks for listening.

I'm back after a semi-intentional mini-hiatus. For the rest of this season, some of my focus is going to be introducing you to real life socialists, as we are often caricatured and misunderstood. But I will talk to these comrades about more than just their political journeys. In this episode, Daniel and I discuss music, books, and yes, some socialism. I hope you enjoy our conversation. Thanks for...

I apologize for the long gap between episodes.

Welcome to Season 3 of "Brian Talks To Humans!" - In this episode I talk to my friend and coworker Pat. Pat and I share a passion for fantasy football, and it's fantasy football season, so I decided he'd be a good person for the Season 3 kickoff. We get to know Pat in the usual interview format before we have a conversation about fantasy football - why we play it and what do we think about players...

I'll be going on another summer hiatus this year. I may pop in with some bonus content, but otherwise I'll see you in the fall. Stay human.

In this coronacast, I talk to Kristoffer, a podcaster I met in a Facebook podcasting group. He lives in Brooklyn. We discussed the current crisis, his podcast, and the future. His podcast and social media can be found at: https://linktr.ee/fwispc. Enjoy, subscribe, rate, review.

I'm back after a short break. I've been busy with some very fulfilling endeavors, and finding the time to record and edit was difficult. But I'm glad I found the time to produce this episode. In this coronacast, I chat with James, with whom I connected via a podcasters Facebook group. We discuss how he is adjusting to life during the COVID crisis, his podcast, and wha the hopes the future will loo...

This coronacast episode features Hunter, a podcaster I met in a Facebook podcasting group. It's a new experience for me in that this is the first interview I did with someone I had not met yet. Hunter works at Wal-Mart and he describes what it's like there in the COVID era. We then touch on his own COVID scare and discuss the benefits of life slowing down. His podcast, Song Appeal, is about why we...

This coronacast features my friend Katie, a doctoral faculty member in the Bay Area and one of the reasons I'm a PhD student now. We discuss her mental health journey and her new skills for living with anxiety, and how those skills serve her during this pandemic crisis. We then turn to how her academic theoretical orientation can help us shape the world after the crisis is over. I think it's an en...

This coronacast features Beatrice (pseudonym), a mental health worker, discussing her New Jersey facility's failures amid the COVID-19 crisis, and what those failures say about our society's approach to health care. Because Beatrice is putting herself at risk by coming forward, I disguised her voice. I think our conversation is troubling and illuminating, but we also manage to touch on ways our so...

Today's coronacast features my friend Lauren. We met through someone I was dating back when I was 18. We've stayed in touch through social media, but we haven't spoken in over 15 years. We spoke about her role as a parent and as a mental health worker. Her work is even more vital these days. We cover adjustments in both roles, some of her frustrations, and some changes we need to make to support b...

In today's coronacast, I speak with my friend Jason, a college professor. Jason is from my hometown and has been a frequent companion at concerts and music festivals. Our conversation is a bit more philosophical than past coronacasts, as we discuss the shifts necessary to bring about a better world after this crisis is over. I found the discussion engaging and generative. I hope you enjoy it, too,...

Today's coronacast is with Kathleen, a former colleague from years back. We've kept in touch through social media, but this is out first conversation in over ten years. We discuss her coronavirus test and the ways she's practicing self-care during these strange times. We end with the now standard One Gotta Go. It was a pleasure to speak with Kathleen and I hope you enjoy our conversation. Listen o...

Today's coronacast is with my friend Irfan. We hadn't spoken in over ten years until the night before we recorded. In this episode we discuss life in the NYC global hotspot, some music he's been getting into, and a little politics. We end with the now standard One Gotta Go. The outro music is "Dat Dere," a song Irfan refers to in our conversation. Enjoy, subscribe, rate, review.

In this coronacast, I speak with Paul, a former student and now friend. We discuss how his life is going during the pandemic (including caring for elders), and his superhero RPG venture, Union City Heroes. Paul is a great guy, really genuine and bright. I hope you enjoy this coronacast.
