It’s been a WHILE. Apologies for the radio silence (literally) as I figure out how to manage work, political activism, exercise, and hobbies like this show. And there was a bug that prevented me from posting this show after I’d done it. But hopefully there won’t be another long gap and I can get my ...

This show is the least Christmassy thing that ever was! Yayyyyy! I’m pretty sure this show captures my week. It featured a lot of vomit, blood, sweat, and actually, there were no tears. Well, unless you count that really sad film I watched yesterday. In which case, there were tears! I literally thought I was ... The post ‘Splainin’ 35 appeared first on Radioactive International.

After the hard work but ultimately very fulfilling experience of feeding a whole heap of people for Thanksgiving, I’ve spent the day relaxing and eating yet more food and deciding which songs to throw at you. The past couple of days have been so touching, as Thanksgiving should be when taken at face value as ... The post ‘Splainin’ 32 appeared first on Radioactive International.

Well, it’s hard to know what to say, isn’t it? As an American ex-pat, it’s hard to watch from afar as so many friends, family, and acquaintances face the realities of the American Presidential elections. It’s hard to realise that some people in my life have different values and see the world so differently than ... The post ‘Splainin’ 30 appeared first on Radioactive International.

HALLOWEEN!!!!!! I’ve had several people this week assume that I am a Halloween person. As a kid, I was surely, but in retrospect I think it’s because it is my mother’s favourite holiday and her enthusiasm clearly rubbed off on me. Also, she made me the coolest homemade costumes. But as an adult, I’m sort ... The post ‘Splainin’ 28 appeared first on Radioactive International.

It’s my mom’s birthday! I’m very lucky to have had a caring and generous mother for my whole life. She has taught me how to be resilient, how to keep my sense of humour, how to appreciate the absurd, and how to work very, very hard even when times are tough. And while I’ll never ...

I have to admit, I’m pretty proud of myself for getting a show together this week, considering the crazy chaos of my life right now! So many IKEA flat packs. SO MANY.

  And….we’re back! After a two week hiatus, we have some ‘Splainin’ to do. In this show, my friend Cathie and I discuss death and grief and the weird things that can happen when you lose someone.
