"You're a clown, get over it!"

Uncle Stepdad walked us through his clowning journey, telling us about his clown found family, battling imposter syndrome and insecurity, and how clowning can be a way to hold a mirror up to society. We also chat about how finding your clown can be a reflection of your truest, most unguarded self.

Uncle Stepdad has become a wonderful irl friend for us through this podcast, so this episode is particularly fun because he and Jake spend the whole interview messing with each other and trying to make each other laugh. We had a really good time and I think it shows through in the episode.
