DFD #20 | The Evil Among Us w/ Alex Konicke

This week on Deep Funny Dirty, we're stepping into something heavier than usual. We sit down with Alex Konicke, author of The Evil Among Us, to talk about what happens after tragedy tears through a family. Alex opens up about watching his older brother Zach spiral through addiction and resistance to help, and about how easy it is to miss the moment when concerning becomes dangerous, even for a family paying close attention and doing everything they knew how to do.

But this conversation isn't really about the tragedy itself, it's about what comes after. We dig into the questions every family faces long before a crisis hits. When do you set a boundary. When do you call for help. When does protecting someone you love start putting everyone else at risk. Alex shares the reflections that have come from walking through all of it, and how he's turned unimaginable pain into a mission to change how Washington State responds to mental health emergencies.

Alex's story is heavy, honest, and unexpectedly hopeful, a reminder that healing rarely looks the way we think it will, and that community and connection can carry us through even the hardest chapters.
