About this listen

Olivia talks about their shift from a life of learning through action and adventure, toward instead learning at a deeper level and slower pace, in large part influenced by their chronic illness and disability. She talks about the feeling of her life being stripped down to the bare essentials of being human, becoming more self reliant for better and for worse, and the interesting dynamics of gender and sexuality that have emerged in this shift. Freddie shares about how the wisdom in this interview supported him while recovering from covid.


ABOUT OUR GUEST: Olivia Pepper is a writer, theorist and nondenominational artist who currently resides in rural New Mexico. Olivia has dabbled abundantly in life and has been at times a film producer, a medicinal herb farmer, an astrologer, a journalist, a labor organizer, an experimental theatre maker, a line cook, and all kinds of other things. Mostly, though, Olivia is a collection of exhausted cells, weary bones, good stories, bad jokes and oddly sentimental pieces of pop culture trivia, mostly about Star Trek or queer poets of the 1920s.

Theme music is "HEATWAVE HEARTBREAK" by freddie blooms.
