  1. Ego Death, Young Life & Trying Not to Get Laid with Jack Hopkins

    16H AGO

    Ego Death, Young Life & Trying Not to Get Laid with Jack Hopkins

    Jack Hopkins (aka Jack Hoppy) is a bartender, filmmaker, and musician from Columbus, Ohio. We talk about growing up small and non-athletic in the suburbs, learning about life from movies, getting love-bombed by a Christian youth group, successfully avoiding sex for most of high school, a mushroom trip that spiraled into months of nihilism and two suicide attempts, and the offhand comment from a stranger at 3 a.m. in a New York City pizza shop that pulled him out of it. Also: ketamine and a box of childhood action figures, why Columbus isn’t real, and why humping the Empire State Building is not okay. Content warning: This episode includes extensive talk about sex and drugs, and quite a bit of swearing, so probably don't listen with your kids. You can and should watch Jack's films, listen to his music, and look at some of his art here: https://linktr.ee/Jackhoppy Please show some support for the podcast and get access to some extra content by subscribing to the Patreon page: http://www.patreon.com/onefjef Instagram: @onefjefpod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/onefjefpod TikTok: @onefjefpodcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@onefjef Email: onefjefpod@gmail.com You can also call the podcast and leave a voicemail at 1-669-241-5882 and I will probably play it on the air.

  2. The Band-Aid Is in the Garbage

    6D AGO

    The Band-Aid Is in the Garbage

    Two months from buying a plane ticket to moving into an apartment in Roma Sur. This episode is the arrival — the last frantic packing at my mom's house, the delayed flight out of Cleveland, the Uber from the airport wondering what my apartment would be like, and then the first three days of actually living here. It ends on night three, at a gathering with expats and locals, when Mexico City finally gave me a big warm hug and I stopped wondering if this decision was the right one.

  3. The Last One Before Mexico City

    The Last One Before Mexico City

    My time in Columbus finally comes to an end, and this is what it sounds like. I threw away a living thing. I hid poker chips around my old house. I sold a mattress for $26. And the podcast finally got it's first voicemail. Episode 40 will come from Mexico City, which is about two-thirds of the way down. Now I need to pack.

  4. My Life Was the Size of My Life

    My Life Was the Size of My Life

    This is what it sounds like to dismantle a life. Packing tape. Gravel alleys. A crazy landlord stomping next-door. A going-away party with live music and rocks as door prizes. I’m leaving Columbus in two days, and I'm not exactly sure what I'm taking with me.

  8. Harmony, Healing & Finding Home with David Brown

    JAN 29

    Harmony, Healing & Finding Home with David Brown

    David Brown grew up moving between thirteen houses in Louisiana, taught to believe heaven was exclusive and his queerness was wrong. He survived Katrina, broke from his family, and somehow turned all that pain into the Harmony Project—a five-hundred-voice choir where everyone belongs. In this conversation, we talk about what happens when people who would never meet start singing together, why music is the conduit but not the point, and how crisis can crack you open to find your purpose. Learn more about the Harmony Project at http://www.harmonyproject.com and follow the Harmony Project on Instagram @harmonycolumbus Please show some support for the podcast and get access to some extra content by subscribing to the Patreon page: http://www.patreon.com/onefjef Instagram: @onefjefpod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/onefjefpod TikTok: @onefjefpodcast YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@onefjef Email: onefjefpod@gmail.com You can also call the podcast and leave a voicemail at 1-669-241-5882 and I will probably play it on the air.
