JATG 132 - I've Got Sinus Rhythm, Baby!

This week, I’m sharing some actual good news: after my July 2 cardioversion, I’m back in sinus rhythm, baby. I talk about another hospital trip, what it feels like to keep navigating AFib, seizures, sleep, stress, and recovery, and why I’m trying to get better at accepting the unknown instead of pretending I can control everything. I also get into returning to the movie theater after my seizure, rereading Philip Pullman’s Book of Dust series, drinking water, taking things easy, and staying connected to the little things that help keep the mind, body, and spirit moving.

JATG 131 - Three Heart Procedures, Two Seizures, One Podcast

I check in this week before another cardioversion to talk seizures, comedy, prioritizing sleep, spoon theory, and trying to move through a chaotic medical year with humor and honesty. It’s a short(ish) episode about accepting lower energy, leaning on support, and still loving the process - whether that’s podcasting, training, comedy, or just getting through the day. Enjoy!

JATG 130 - A straight up comedy set

Due to technical difficulties, this week’s episode is a straight up stand-up comedy set that I recorded at a backyard show in my friend Tim’s comedy club on Saturday, June 20, 2026, which was a pretty darn good time. There were about 15 people there (which is basically full) and everyone seemed to have a pretty good time with myself, as as well as with the other performers. You will hear a brief introduction from Tim -  recent PhD recipient - and then I will do some comedy. 130 episodes, baby - seizures be damned! Enjoy! And as a public service announcement, never get your internet from CenturyLink!

JATG 129 - Listen to Your Body, Bring Snacks

This week I’m keeping it pretty short because, honestly, I’m still going through it. A couple weeks after having another seizure, I’m back to work with clients, adjusting to anti-seizure meds, sleeping poorly, and trying to listen to my body in real time. I also got to be part of a fun local film shoot in Eugene, which reminded me how good it feels to stay connected to creative community, even when life feels wickety wonky. Mostly, this episode is about recovery, asking for help, hydration, snacks, and putting one foot in front of the other.

JATG 128 - I No-Clipped Out of Backrooms and Woke Up in the ER

This week’s episode is about a recent seizure I had while at the movies, almost exactly one year after the seizure that led to my brain tumor diagnosis. It’s a personal one about health uncertainty, recovery, support systems, creativity, Backrooms, and what it means to keep moving forward when there are no clean answers. I also talk about the importance of telling people how you feel and making the work that matters to you while you can. Plus, there are some snippets of me in the ER that my mom took while I was out of it! It's funny and kind of sweet.
