| THE END (for now) | Play in Popup. | Dearest Listeners,
After much thought and trepidation, Iâve decided to take a long break from FatC. Because FatC fans rock in so many ways, I canât leave without explaining my departure.
First, I believe Iâve been creatively âspentâ? for months. As painful and shameful as it is for me to admit, Iâm uninspired. When I entered this sordid world, I had so much to say. Times change. Iâve lost my voice. Every podcaster enacts a persona. I fear the personality I created has taken on a life of its own. Itâs stupid. I find myself saying things people expect me to say. Iâm a slave to the formula, and, frankly, I donât want to be that guy.
I owe so much to this medium. Iâve made some terrific friends. Madge, Wanda, Mike, John, the folks at Rainbow Pod Squad, Puffy, Steve, Omar, Brad, Chemda, Patrice, and the boys at the PNS Explosion, among countless others, have taught me so much about art, activism, and hell, life. I came into this world with so many âPCâ? reservations of which Iâve let go. Such a life lesson!
Moreover, I depart because I am, first and foremost, a poet who needs to complete his second book. Itâs strange: I started to podcast because I thought, âThis will be a great way to promote HETEROPHOBIA.â? I had no idea that my involvement in this world would result in an assortment of new friends, a dissertation, thousands of hours of performance, and a new life outlook.
I applaud everyone who has taken the time to listen to FatC, agree with my words, and dissent with my madness. I think everyone involved in the queer podcasting project feels connected to something bigger and more profound than words. Love or hate, agree or disagree, we belong to a community that cares: We care about world events; we care about what other people say; we care about this technology and mode of communication.
It would be insincere of me to depart without talking about the most profound moment I experienced as a member of this community. When Juan died, I knew I had to be at Richardâs side. For the record, Richard and Brad are two of the most professional and kind people Iâve had the privilege to work alongside. Rachel and I appreciate the gift you provided in ways that weâll never be able to fully express. Juanâs death proved to me that podcasting is more than free entertainment, self-involvement, ego-mania, etc. Podcasters and their supporters forge intimate, real, and profound connections.
That said, Iâll continue to participate in ETHS but Iâll strive to participate in a manner that better articulates who I am outside of the podcasting world. Being a mean, crass relentless bottom (v. 2.0) is harder than youâd think. As I previously indicated, Iâm tired of the persona taking control; Iâm tired of talking shit to and about people I respect and admire.
After Iâve worked on poetry and rediscovered what I want to say (sans self-imposed expectation), Iâll come back to FatC.
Best,
Ragan |
