About The Angsty Pod

For more than 2 decades, I have written in a diary almost every single day. And guess what? I saved them ALL. Each week, I will be reading from these archives and getting to know myself from the lens of my 10, 16, 25, and 36-year-old self. We'll explore big topics such as body image, queerness, divorce, addiction, mental health, and friendship. I'll read cringy poems and attempt to find compassion for the painful tenderness of my younger self. Join the drama of me and my guests as we explore our boy-crazy, closeted, angsty selves... one stupid page at a time.

   Episode 40 - Somehow Shocked That "Jerkboy" Was a Jerk

   This episode covers most of my first semester of college and is a total whirlwind. One minute, I'm quoting Buddha. The next minute, I'm making out with everyone's girlfriend at the bar. I'm blacking out every Monday and will flirt with anything that has a pulse. I spend most of my time apologizing to my friends for how I treated them the night before. I can't keep my crushes straight. The only guys I am romantically interested in are the ones who are the meanest to me. It gets dar...

   In this episode, I have just landed in college. Let the shame spiral begin! My first night, I am drowning in loneliness until I make friends with my roommate Rhonda.
