The Bandying Show

I could have named this show “Not A Man Of Few Words,” my space to talk openly about chronic illness, mental health, joy, resilience, and all the strange, funny, deeply human bits in between. Until now, as an only kid who never found his person, these conversations were in my head, with myself. Now, they are with you. I recently realized that my autoimmune disorder, which I kept all to myself for more than 20 years, shaped me, my days, and the story of my life (Queue “The Story” by Brandi Carlile) more than I ever knew. My goal is to create amazing episodes and fun, useful, heartfelt conversations. Most episodes I will pick one serious health topic where I draw you into the work it takes to survive the bad days, and to fight and compete to get better or even thrive, and another fun and joyful one that entertains you and cracks you up making the heavy stuff easier to take in. So, less “Do the work!”, more “This is what it takes!” mixed with music, comedy, Gen X nostalgia, the absurdity of modern life and anything else I can think of that helps us stay positive, stick with the process, and make the best of our days. You can have it all! In. One. Show. As a bigger goal, I would love to create an easy and fun entry point into actual self-help for listeners. In The Bandying Show, I hope you find some comfort and company if you have a chronic condition, or learn a strategy to help yourself or someone you support, or spark some much needed joy, fun, or ideas on ways to excel at the things you are chasing.
