Metaphors in the Time of Covid
<p><strong>Travis begins this episode with a quick update of his fascinating life as a teacher and his recent motivation to continue his podcast... maybe. He then interviews Jessie Burnette, who has been involved in social issues for the majority of her life. She is currently working toward completing her masters in English. She recently won the award for the best presentation of her paper at the ALPSS Graduate and Postgraduate Conference at Waikato University. This is the Annual Interdisciplinary Postgraduate Conference hosted by Te Wananga o Nga Kete Division of Arts, Law, Psychology and Social Sciences. Her dissertation and thesis are interdisciplinary projects analysing how Twitter users use language to discuss Covid-19 and the ensuing government mandates. She is also an avid writer, with work published in Mayhem 2019, and the upcoming issues of Poetry New Zealand 2021 and Mayhem 2021. They wrap up their talk with a fun pop quiz on the best book and band... ever!</strong></p>

In Memory of Tony Gordon - Non-Spotify Version
<p>Content warning. This episode is dedicated to my friend Tony Gordon, who took his own life. Included are tales of the many adventures we had and songs we grew up listening to in the unfortunate era of the Big Hair Bands. If you are thinking about hurting yourself please remember that nothing ever stays the same. Things change. And if you missed someone who needed help, try to forgive yourself and listen for the others who either aren't asking or aren't being heard.</p> <p>New Zealand: Lifeline Aotearoa: 0800 543 354</p> <p><a href="https://mentalhealth.org.nz/suicide-prevention" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">https://mentalhealth.org.nz/suicide-prevention</a></p> <p>USA: National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 800-273-TALK (8255)</p> <p><a href="https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org</a></p> <p>Internationally:</p> <p>https://www.opencounseling.com/suicide-hotlines</p>
