What is this Substack even about?

disaffectedpod.substack.com

Disaffected is a weekly talk show that I’m supposed to call a “podcast” even though it’s actually a produced TV show of a quality higher than sitting in front of a webcam with Star Wars toys behind the 34-year-old host.

The show is a joint production of me, and my friend, the show’s producer, Kevin Hurley. The show was Kevin’s idea; I was very nervous about sitting in front of a mic and a camera and saying the things I wanted to say. This is no longer a problem.

It looks and sounds like it does because Kevin is an actual, real-life, makes-his-living-from-it TV producer.

What’s it about?

Thesis: What we know as “domestic abuse” has gone public and feral. More specifically, Cluster B personality disorder dynamics (extreme narcissism, manipulation, sociopathy, emotional instability) have taken over public discourse.

Why do I think I know this, and why should you listen?

I grew up in a house ruled by a woman with a severe combination of Borderline and Narcissistic personality disorders. If you’ve seen Mommie Dearest or Carrie, you know what you need to know about how I grew up.

Do you have some articles or shows that will help me get oriented to why you talk about it this way?

Your “podcast” is spot on and very professional, except for the technical glitches that periodically pop up even in the best of circumstances. I love this and look forward to it every Sunday. I tell my friends and forward it to them at times but to tell you the truth, I think some of them(most of them?) don’t get it. It goes way over their heads. Not me, though. I get it. Love 💗

OK My sweet angel, sorry I am such a troglodyte... So, in order to "write, say" something on the community I have to buy coins? (I was actually thinking about becoming a Substack Founding member, I think that's $250 - would I still have to buy coins? Ugh, I am such a troglodyte...
