012| Alana Kalinowski: My Spirit Feels Moist

Heathen

Alana Kalinowski—who will at least acknowledge when she's staring at you—has a story for you. Did you see the movie Captain Fantastic, with the off-the-grid family growing up in the woods? Cast them as ultra-conservative evangelical rapture preppers and you get just a little bit close to Alana's upbringing. Honestly, it's a trip, and all I can do is let you listen to it. Unedited. All 2+ hours of it. Which brings me to... the format of this show. I'm considering a change. If you listen regularly, you might have noticed that this episode is coming out mid-week, and that there was no episode this past Sunday. There are reasons, I explain in the intro. But I'm feeling like these conversations need to be a bit longer in order to get to the good shit. So, I want to know what you think: a 2-hour episode every other week? Let me know. And enjoy this truly astonishing conversation with an amazing person. Thanks for sharing your story with us, Alana. P.S.—alternate titles I considered for this episode: Everything Was Scary All The Time Slutty Slut Heathen Feminazi You Don't Get Cookies For Not Being Assholes Amy Grant Was Part Of My Sexual Awakening I Know How To Pass As Someone Who Didn't Grow Up Shitting In Buckets
