More Podcast with Anna Maria Tremonti
Anna Maria Tremonti has a new podcast called More. This particular episode entitled Vivek Shraya is a Debbie Downer will be of interest to our West Hill United Book Study Group. Click on the link in the title to listen, or search CBC podcasts to subscribe.
Multi-artist Vivek Shraya has turned out some pretty grim-sounding titles. Her books “Death Threat” and “I’m Afraid of Men” opened a lot of eyes to the trans experience. And her latest work is an autobiographical play called “How to Fail as a Popstar.” All of which, Vivek jokes, make her sound like a “Debbie Downer.” But when it comes to heavy topics like fear and hate — which Vivek has experienced more than most — she manages to infuse the conversation with humour and hope. Listen to her chat with Anna Maria Tremonti, and you may walk away knowing the difference between good fear and bad fear, and how to turn bad fear into something good.
