Openly Terrified Evan Van Helden Hey hey, and welcome to Openly Terrified!I’m Evan—socially awkward, emotionally chaotic, and somehow still choosing to talk into a mic. This little podcast is basically a live-stream of my brain, where all my weird thoughts come to hang out and stretch their legs.Despite being a professional introvert, something about rambling here makes my soul do a happy little dance.
