Stories are medicine
Even those who dislike William Shakespeare are tuning in to chill as Sir Patrick Stewart reads sonnets. Others sigh with relief to the gruff tones of Samuel L. Jackson reading "Stay the F*ck at Home." Every night I go live on Facebook to read life lesson fables from my books because I know that the benefit is a massive attitude adjustment, as much for me as for my audience.

Free Shakespeare Festival: Together Under The Stars
It’s early August. The heat of the summer gives way to a cool, responsible breeze — one that stirs the air just right, without raising too much of a ruckus. The grass is wet, sticky. When I put my gray, polyester blanket down, it clings to the ground almost immediately. My neighbor Lauren and I kick our shoes off and clumsily plop down.

Off-Netflix Series
Especially with all this time spent in with quarantine I feel it's time to start going through my movie collection. As I mentioned in a previous piece I wrote here on Vocal “Rental Shops Were Better than Streaming,” I have began to notice all the titles that are missing from the streaming wars on the main services. So I will start going through some of my favorite movies that you can't find on a subscription. Many of them you either have to find a physical copy or find on a Video On Demand (VOD) style rental service.

Sometimes the Best Classroom is Community Theater
Note: This essay originally appeared within the author's publication Secular & Sensational on Medium. I remember sitting in a church parking lot, tears pouring down my face. These were different from my other tears. My other tears came out fierce and fast, a direct response to immediate physical or emotional pain. These parking lot tears emanated from the center of my body and fell down slowly in time with my breath. They were not the result of pain so much as they were the result of being human.

How to unlock Greek Netflix while Abroad?
It’s never too early nor too late to go on a vacation, and what most people miss to most in these situations is their trusty old TV along with all the shows it provides for us. Some people don’t mind paying a couple dollars more to gain access to several other channels in their hotel room, but that’s usually a massive waste of money – your favorite shows are not included.

Movies Can Help Us Get Through This
Netflix recently had to decrease the video quality of their service to accommodate the high volume of people streaming. In these difficult circumstances, we're all turning on our favourite streaming services to offer us a form of escapism. I sincerely believe that movies are a useful tool that can help us get through this. But that's all they are, a tool. A hammer can be used to build something useful or it can be misued to break things or injure people.

9 Great Podcasts That Have Nothing to Do with the News
I listen to a lot of podcasts. Many, if not most, are news- or politics-focussed, and these days they’re all about, y’know, that thing that’s currently consuming all of us. And, honestly, nobody knows all that much except it’s bad, it’s getting worse, we should wash our hands and stay the heck home and away from people, there is a lot to worry about, and, depending on where you live, the government’s response has been varying shades of terrible. Really, I don’t need a daily update on each of those, let alone several updates. But if I do, well, that’s what, say, the Washington Post is for.
