A Fresh Face in Hell with Jonathan Evison

• Ellen Vora, MD - The Anatomy of Anxiety

  Today, I speak with Ellen Vora, MD, about understanding, treating, and living with anxiety—a condition she thoroughly explores in her book The Anatomy of Anxiety.  Ellen and I discussed some of my experiences with anxiety over the past few years.  We explore some practical tools to manage the nervous system, from lifestyle changes to therapy, and even spirituality. While it’s not quite a free therapy session, it’s also not your typical interview. Either way, I hope it offers helpful insights for those struggling to understand and manage their own anxiety.  Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHzj0CG30y8YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FreshFacePod_EvisonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/freshfacepod.evison/

• Claire Dederer - Monsters: A Fan's Dilemma

  Today, I speak with an old friend, Claire Dederer, about her seminal book, Monsters: A Fan's Dilemma. We ask the question: Is it possible to appreciate an artist's work if the artist's behavior is monstrous? Is the work of artists like Woody Allen, Roman Polanski, Prince, and Alice Munro better understood if we have a greater awareness of the complexities of their lives, or is there a point at which the work is spoiled forever? At what point can we no longer separate the art from the artist? What is your breaking point?https://www.clairedederer.com/Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHzj0CG30y8YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FreshFacePod_EvisonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/freshfacepod.evison/

• Jeff Ament - The Origins of Pearl Jam

  Today, I have a conversation with my old friend Jeff Ament. We discussed his incredible rock 'n' roll journey—from the Seattle hardcore scene of the '80s to the rise of '90s Grunge, and eventually becoming the rock star bassist of Pearl Jam. Jeff is like the "Lucy" of Grunge, with stints in three of Seattle's most influential bands: Green River, Mother Love Bone, and Pearl Jam. We talked about his surprising influences and the transformative moments that helped shape what we now know as Pearl Jam. A fun ride for music fans, and to top it off, he loves my books!Go to Substack to watch the full interview:  https://substack.com/@afreshfaceinhellTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHzj0CG30y8YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FreshFacePod_EvisonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/freshfacepod.evison/

• Rita Omokha - Resist!

  Today I speak with journalist and author Rita Omokha about her new book, Resist. We discuss how young Black activists like Ella Baker, Barbara Johns, and Johnetta Elzie have shaped our understanding of the power of organized action—not just in the Civil Rights Movement but in all forms of political protest. As we face the remainder of Trump's presidency (1424 days, 02 hours, and 50 minutes), it's encouraging to hear about the ways we can resist the fascists and racists, both in small and large ways.https://www.ritaomokha.comTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHzj0CG30y8YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FreshFacePod_EvisonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/freshfacepod.evison/

• Carl Zimmer - Germs!!

  Renowned NY Times science columnist, Carl Zimmer, talks with me about his new book, Air-Borne: The Hidden History of the Life We Breathe. We talk about the air we breathe, the gazillions of microbes, bacteria, fungus and viruses that float effortlessly around us daily. From the oceans depths to our nostrils we take in all manner of life, most of it harmless but some of it nightmarish. No one explains science better than Carl Zimmer folks!!https://carlzimmer.com/Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHzj0CG30y8YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FreshFacePod_EvisonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/freshfacepod.evison/
