Listen "Up in Smoke: On being a parent & writer who openly smokes weed (with Michael Wheaton)"

Episode Synopsis

Michael Wheaton and I talk about weed. We talk about using it as a tool for our writing and our parenting, and moreover, we talk about featuring this part of ourselves in our writing. Both of us have young children, but they won’t be young forever. Soon they will piece together what that smell was wafting through their childhood. In a way, this conversation and Michael’s latest book, Home Movies (Bunny Press 2024), is an attempt to practice how we respond to them. It’s a delicate balance between wanting to feel legitimate, to not feel like a criminal, while granting that weed is a filter that can distance you from the people you love the most.
