Episode 5: All the World’s a Stage… When’s Intermission?

  • Summary

    Sometimes it gets to feeling like the acts we put on pervade well beyond the literal stage. In an age where we feel like the eyes of the world are always upon us (at least in our heads), it can become difficult to know who we are underneath it all—both as artists and as people.

    In this episode of Nah-cademics, Brett and John try to get to the bottom of this exhausting —and ultimately unnecessary—performative tendency.

    -Though we feel repulsed when we feel ourselves putting on an act, is it truly wrong to be this way, or does it ever serve a beneficial function?

    -How can things like social media marketing, creativity, and mundane interactions be approached in a more healthy way which doesn’t feel like our self-acceptance and authenticity are in constant jeopardy?

    -Is Facebook’s care emoji just a form of gaslighting, or is it possible that we overthink it and should realize that we’re incapable of knowing the level of someone else’s sincerity?

    As always, this podcast offers no definitive answers—it’s just whichever answer makes you like us more… heh heh, just kidding (sort of)—but if you find yourself feeling like the only one always wearing a mask and quietly resenting it, this podcast is for you.

    Come, overthink with us!
