    BIPOLAR DISORDER with Alyson Donaldson

This was how I first learned about mental illness and the ways an untreated brain can turn on a person and distort their reality. Today my sister is a beautiful success story and she shares her journey with us!

Great stuff all around

I enjoy Austin’s work across various platforms. Funny, creative, thoughtful. He’s doing good work and he deserves more recognition and audience for what’s he’s doing. Check him out!

Shouldn’t be doing interviews

Maybe he’s gotten better since I only listened to his 2022 interview with Kyle Gallner, but I spent the whole 90 minutes irritated with Austin Archer’s self-obsession. The first 20 minutes were about his TikTok, which he also interrupted his interview subject to talk about more. It felt especially disrespectful that he left in the part where he asks Gallner to move his mic, but maybe Archer doesn’t edit his episodes at all?

What do I do now?

Over the last couple of weeks (or maybe over a month now?), I have had the joy, nay… the honor, to listen to your podcast from episode one to the latest episode where you are pacing and talking about the film festival in Canada. Can you imagine my feelings? There’s too many to name just like there’s probably too many reviews to do, reeeeview the revieeew, REVIEW THE REVIEW! The evolution of RTR and BTB were legendary, thank you for that and sharing your life Austin. What do I do now? That’s a silly question. I know what to do and you know what I can do.

Be good,
Sloane
