Call It Whatever

by Spencer Jenkins

Spencer Jenkins is going through it. Spencer’s old life blew up in spectacular fashion: addiction, crime, homelessness, and prison. Now, navigating recovery and reentry with a little hindsight, a whole lot of humility, and a microphone, Spencer is rebuilding—brick by absurd brick. Call It Whatever lives somewhere between where we’ve been and wherever we’re going: work, relationships, identity, faith, family, friendship, intimacy, and all the ridiculous little disasters happening in the meantime. Some of it is serious. A surprising amount of it is funny. None of it is going as planned. And maybe that’s the point.
