Kill The Silence: Episode 17

Launching “The Rant”: A New Comedy Podcast and the Power of VulnerabilityThe host shares that this episode of the Kill the Silence podcast is also being posted for subscribers who may miss emailed articles, and announces a new, free comedy podcast called The Rant, described as an unstructured comedy exercise built around ranting to develop material for stage. He reflects on stepping away from performing for 1.5–2 years due to being fired, his best friend’s death, and an ongoing lawsuit alleging a therapist blackmailed and extorted him, insisting he won’t live scared or censor himself because he’s telling the truth and seeks justice and accountability. He discusses growing Kill the Silence on Substack to 4,100 subscribers and 7,500 followers by practicing “brutal vulnerability” and writing about struggles, manipulation, healing, and aligning with one’s own values rather than pleasing others, then asks listeners to subscribe and share The Rant as he heads to Ohio for work.00:00 Welcome and Updates00:29 Life Upheaval and Lawsuit02:41 Starting The Rant Podcast03:38 Comedy Mindset and Freedom04:21 Why Comedy Stays Free04:48 Kill the Silence Growth05:35 Substack Strategy Honesty06:36 Values and Creating Anyway08:19 Subscribe and Closing This is a public episode.
