D2D2

Hi! I’m calling this episode D2D2, or: Driven to Drink, Part 2. I went back, listened to the D2D1 episode, and realized that I’d left quite a few unfinished thoughts and even sentences in my attempts to tell a fairly convoluted story involving real people and traumas… without disclosures or allowing my personal traumas to overwhelm and dysregulate me. So… D2D2 has the answers! A few additional important notes re: this episode. The intro music is by a marvelous man whose music is on Bandcamp. His name is Jason Belcher, or JB, and the song is titled “Hold 1.” I love the idea of incorporating music from friends. The closing music is “Party At the Airport” by Deck of Jack, which was the theme song from the podcast for which this and the previous episode are named, “Driven to Drink,” or D2D. Jim made the song. Jim is another friend. After Jason’s piece at the beginning, my opening isn’t my typical, “On Becoming… an exploration of existence and paradigm shifts in the time of COVID.” So… there’s the tag for you! I’ve included, at the end of the episode-proper, some off-script banter and shenanigans, which is also a nod to my first podcast, Driven to Drink (D2D). Lots of self-referential nodding, lol. I nod at and appreciate you also! K… everything good otherwise? No? Same. But hey! Let’s hang out a spell, recharge the wellbeing battery, and then get back at it. Huh? Cool. Love yinz, y’all,and yous. -G
