Host: Johnny Athmann
Have you ever wanted to be a comedian or musician? Would you like to know how it is to start out? It's not comedy clubs, it's not theaters, it's open-mics and shitty road gigs. Johnny Athmann hosts talks with folks about living that life, talk with other open-mic comics about their influences, their voice, their experiences, their horror stories, and themselves...while I talk over them...at times. We also talk about mental illness amongst entertainers as this is "This Drug Called Life Podcast." This drug, because our life is comedy and the drug called adreneline is a lifestyle we live onstage (life). Without adreneline, we risk being boring onstage; we all need This Drug Called Life, for "T0 live a life of comedy is to live a life worth commenting upon" This is a podcast about talking to contemporaries about why they talk, make music, and art, living on a life onstage, and what it means to them and how it may make them feel better.

I talk to my cousin for, likely, the longest time in our life. It was cathartic, I got some shit out, I talk too much, since Ihaven't done a pod in a while. But, I think we both got a nice time out of it. Check her paintings out by searching Jacqueline Athmann on the Bings or the AOLs. It does become sad at times, but it was meaningful to me to talk seriously to my kin. Jacks, as I'm going to call her now, may be part of the pod from now on. Becoming an adult, you realize who actually matters in life.

This Drug Called Life Podcast Episode #4 (throwback edition) Jeff Talberg
I had an older podcast named "Dignity is Extinct, with Johnny Athmann" and this is the interview where I got to know my co-host, Jeff Talberg. I would say, he's one of the most important people in my life. He's who I call when I get an opportunity, he's of few whom I will always answer when he calls. This is the interview that started our friendship and I thought it'd be nice to put it up on This Drug Called Life. It's a laid back talk and it makes me smile, listening to myself get to know one of my best friends.
