Episode Description

Friends, welcome back to the Hardcore Self Help Podcast. This is my first interview back after a bit of a journey. I thought there was no better way to kick off this next phase of the podcast than by introducing you to a friend and brilliant human that I met in the interim.

Dr. Amy Andrea Martinez is a professor of sociology with a focus on Chicano gang culture, incarceration, and abolition. She is a total badass, and she gets vulnerable about her experiences in this conversation. We discuss how her younger brother's arrest, the development of her identity as a Xicana woman, her experiences with depression and suicidality, and her decision to build armor around her heart this year before diving back into the heart of academia and book-writing. I really hope you enjoy this one.

In this conversation, Dr. Martinez mentions this book: https://www.amazon.com/AM-Club-Morning-Elevate-Life/dp/1443456624

Originally started as a fanzine in the summer of 2011, In My Whey was created to capture all things strength in the hardcore/punk community. The fanzine embodied the DIY movement by self-publishing, editing and funding the entire project, with no ads nor sponsors. In My Whey Fanzine featured a wide range of interviews with people ranging from elite-level powerlifters, strength coaches, recreational lifters, musicians in touring bands to diet advice, steroids, music and more. After publishing 2 volumes of In My Whey Fanzine, I decided to take a break from zines and focus on school...8 years later and I started up my first podcast: 'Doctor Oblivious; A Podcast Idiot', publishing 6 episodes in 2019. While I was happy with the progress I was making, I wasn't really satisfied with it, feeling as if I pigeon-holed myself to a certain standard of who I should interview or what I should be talking about.
