I was interviewed for the first episode of a new podcast,
Reasons Not to Quit, by the brilliant
Hanne Blank. The podcast interviews people who had reasons to quit and didn't; she's got some amazing guests lined up for future episodes.
Here's my interview. I discuss my horrific medical ordeal of 2015-2017, the kindness of friends including several of you reading this, and namedrop Jeff Vandermeer, Michael Swanwick, and George MacDonald. There's both a podcast and a transcript.
Content notes: Medical gaslighting, suicidal thoughts, climate change. But there's jokes too. I think it's more uplifting than depressing.
If nothing else you should click the link to see a delightful portrait of Alex, wrapped around the neck of a typically unflattering selfie of myself. (I take the worst selfies. A 13-year-old friend said I always make a face like a grumpy old man.)
