With You As Always Is Chris (formerly Depression Session with Chris Biagini) is a low-fi conversational show about mental health. We share our thoughts, feelings, struggles, and triumphs while searching for strength in our vulnerability.
Naturally these conversations lead a lot of sad subjects, but we also find excuses to giggle and appreciate the little things.
The show is back and ready for a Lantern Cinema crossover. Recently on the Lantern Cinema Podcast I talked about my love for Wes Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom." One topic that I didn't get to discuss in detail was its depiction of depression and mental health and how characters treat it.
Here is that discussion.
New year, new laptop, and yet another attempt to make this a more regular thing. Fingers crossed that a couple long talked about potential guests end up being cool with Zoom calls.

I had been looking forward to this conversation for a very long time. Dustin Harmsen welcomed me into his home and returned to the show, primarily to talk about two things. Being gender queer, not drinking alcohol (and how both of those things affect how we socialize).
We cover the graphic novel memoir, "Gender Queer" by Maia Kobabe at length. I will continue to be a champion of that work in as many ways as I can think up; it meant that much to me.
Dustin and I also dissect how I talk about my newfound pronouns - or don't - and why. He unveils why he has never purposefully had a sip of alcohol ever and how people tend to react upon hearing that. We definitely have pronoun slip ups but that's kind of the point. Actively working to be better. Not just trying.
Music, parenting, fear, politics, and so much more.

S4 Bonus Episode: Is This How Time Passes?
Back behind the mic but just for a minute. I recorded this in my car (fun!) and you can tell :P Happy World Mental Health Day. Treat yo'self to some healthy coping mechanisms and an attempt at good sleeping habits (and drink more water than I do)!
I've started a third gig, adopted an insane kitten, spent too much time reflecting and too little time creating. Bringing Dustin Harmsen back on the show and and *planning*on releasing that episode by Halloween.
It's not Homework buuuut Extra Credit for the next episode is to read "Gender Queer" by Maia Kobabe. There are some excerpts from the graphic novel memoir here: https://redgoldsparkspress.com/projects/6926504
