#73 The Rod and Anya Show, Part 2: A Conversation with my Dad

Back by popular demand, everyone's favorite gay dad returns to the podcast. (Listen to our first episode together here). We picked up right where we left off - diving deeper into the topic of identity. We discuss my Dad's childhood, how being raised by psychotherapists/sex therapists lead to overstimulation and anxiety, but also emotional fluency. We talk about identity as a construct and how my dad navigated his identity throughout the 70s, 80s & beyond, and we discuss my Dad's lifelong passion for theatre & how reacquainting ourselves with the importance of stories might lead us to embody ourselves and our identity more fully.

Saucy Rod's book recommendations: The Complete Lyrics of Cole Porter, Scandinavian Design by Charlotte and Peter Fiell and The Trouble with Normal by Michael Warner

Songs featured: "When You Come Back Down" by Nickel Creek & "Star People" by George Michael
