ETW Episode1: An Introduction to “The Weird” with JoJean and Friends
Episode 1: An Introduction to “The Weird” with JoJean and FriendsIt’s a summer day at KOHI, a place where friends of JoJean Jodlowski can gather to celebrate and reflect on their spirituality. KOHI is located in JoJean’s backyard with a decorated barn, a stargate, and a fairy garden. Ian, a good friend of JoJean’s, sets up his drum set to play some tunes for the podcast recording. Andrew and I arrive at JoJean’s to see a rug, chairs, and a set of drums assembled under the shade of a tree at KOHI. It’s my first time recording a podcast. I set-up my laptop and my microphone and I’m ready to go.
This episode explores the definition of both weird and normal. We ask questions like are we mind-controlled to follow a certain path in life? Where did “normal” come from? Did religion or the financial complex help influence the idea of being normal? We also reflect upon our own personal weird and how it has played out through our lives. Tune in to hear our stories and to explore the weird.
