John Poveromo on the Anne Leighton Inclusion Interview Show

John Poveromo is the next guest on the Anne Leighton Inclusion Interview Show. Which goes live Tuesday evening 6 pm ET/3 pm PT/midnight (Wed. morning Cape Town time.

 

I fell in love with the range of musicians, comedians, and health experts that John has on his podcast, "Dystopia Tonight.”  John's a working comedian with a wide range of talent including cartoon art, writing, filmmaking, organizing, and creating projects.

 

We talk about personal experiences with depression, mental health, and the challenges of navigating the current political and social climate. The interview also shares our experiences with social media, creativity, and travel, with a focus on the importance of empathy, understanding different perspectives, and supporting those who are struggling. He created an indie movie, "Duppet," a short that visualizes depression.  

Two other deep topics were our love for the TV show, "Supernatural" and John's hair care routine!

Everyone should tune in to John's M.S. Telethon happening this March 26-27.  Type up this link for the Telethon broadcast page:  bit.ly/dystopiaallnight25
