Reconnecting to this life, one episode at a time... John (they/them) has reached out to people who have impacted their life—friends, ex-boyfriends, mentors, teachers, family, and chosen family—to ask them “would you give me an hour of your time for a conversation?” I Miss You is like listening in on a private phone call. Moving from Philadelphia to New York City to London to Los Angeles to Atlanta to Denver, John has met a lot of interesting and creative people along the way. Some of them appear on this podcast, intimate and unfiltered.
Episode 23: A coda
