I’m 29. My formal training is in chemistry. My work and study now reach into biology and neuroscience. Addiction, recovery, PTSD, and mental illness in the lives of people I love have given those subjects a very personal weight.
I began Might Ramble in 2025 after leaving my PhD program and getting sober. My sober date is June 13, 2025. I research, schedule, and host the conversations, write the essays, and produce the episodes, animations, and artwork. I’m learning the craft as I go.
There’s a little Roy Firestone in the ambition. In The Art of the Interview, Lawrence Grobel describes the sports interviewer researching, writing, arranging access, editing, and replaying interviews to learn from them. That seriousness about the whole craft appeals to me. When the production department is largely one person, you become quite well acquainted with everyone responsible for your mistakes. I want to know each part well enough to make the next conversation better.
I want the work to help someone recognize an experience, encounter an idea they would otherwise have missed, or find a person worth thinking with. Over time, I hope some of those conversations become relationships and research.
