Welcome to Societal Deconstruction Podcast or if you want to simplify your life, SDP. I'm Boat, and my buddy and I started this podcast on a whim back in March. My friend John, soon to co-host an upcoming episode with me, and I, kept talking about doing a podcast about spirituality because our opinions differ greatly.
We never got around to that but one night my buddy Bryce and I basically banged out the first episode Living in the Shadow of Walt Disney World. We wrote out a few notes, and with zero rehearsal we just went for it. If you go back and listen to Episode 1 you can definitely tell we were totally out of our comfort zone. But somehow it flowed, and I just kept going.
There was no shortage of guest hosts. There was no shortage of interesting topics. There was no shortage of guests with interesting life stories or experiences that they were more than happy to discuss. I was actually floored that people wanted to share so much with me. I would like to send out a big "THANK YOU" to all my guests. I am very appreciative because my guests are what makes this podcast so interesting.
The tone of this podcast is not to be against society or to be anti-government. At SDP we are all about living life to the fullest, living in the moment, living for ourselves and not having to adhere to society's norm. There is freedom in that, and I think that everyone should feel it. Life is short, I want people to take advantage of it. We speak to people who don't live by society's standards. The underdog. The victim. The exploited. The misunderstood. I've always wanted to help them. I hope this podcast will show them that they are not alone.
In the upcoming episodes we have some great topics. An episode about suicide, which I'm very passionate about, an episode with a guest who is an escort and some episode swaps with The Yooman Podcast that I'm very excited about.
This month is Mental Health Awareness Month! Here at SDP, we focus on mental health and mental illness. So many of our guests deal with mental health disorders, as do I and many of my family members. Life can be challenging enough without adding misunderstood mental illness to the pot. We feel for all of you going through it and hope by listening to us you know that you are not alone.
Update on Episode 7: My guest G and I were all set to record Episode 7 Part 2 and unfortunately G had to take a trip back to the Loony Bin. We are all in his corner at SDP and hope he gets home soon. Let's hope the psych ward treats him appropriately instead of just throwing him in a ward of other mentally ill patients. I don't feel like the professionals have any idea how to treat mental illness. It's such a prolific problem and it could be handled so much differently. I finally got mine somewhat under control after 47 years of roller-coaster bi-polar adventures.
Thank you so much for listening to SDP. Make sure to rate and follow us everywhere you listen to podcasts and please tune in to our upcoming episodes.
