Um, hiiii!

Firstly, I want to say a huge sorry for leaving you all in the lurch here on the That’s So Chronic podcast feed! Like I explain in this update episode, I really did not anticipate this big of a break between new episodes, hence why I didn’t let you know ahead of time!

In this episode I try to explain where the heck I’ve been and how I’ve been feeling, a little bit more of an insight into the different parts of my identity, the exciting things I’ve been working away on, and the plan for That’s So Chronic moving forward!

Really looking forward to being back in your ears again in early 2025, but for now, I would love to connect over on IG, Tiktok or Substack: @thatssochronic

I really miss bringing you these stories every Tuesday morning, so I feel really sad to be taking such a big break! But, I hope you will all understand. Thank you so much for supporting That’s So Chronic!

It’s the final Tuesday of the month which means it’s time for a That’s So episode! A chance to chat about a piece of content that’s in our That’s So Chronic world. Today, we’re chatting about the feature documentary Designer $hit directed by Saffron Cassaday.

In Designer $hit, director Saffron Cassaday, who has suffered from ulcerative colitis for nearly a decade, sets off on a journey to determine whether FMT (or fecal microbiota transplant) could potentially cure her of this disease. It's a great mix of patient experiences, scientific information, Saffron's personal experience, and honest reactions from everyone involved.

In this episode, I get the chance to sit down with Saffron and chat all about her experience of not only living with UC and going through FMT for herself, but recording it all at the same time…

Happy Tuesday! When I was passing through London, UK in July I was able to sit down and chat with Miranda Allen about her diagnosis of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS)

In this episode, Miranda looks back with hindsight and explains where it’s possible her symptoms began, the years of not really knowing what was going on, how she got a diagnosis, what on earth ME even is, her day to day symptoms, how she manages them and her latest creative endeavours.

Some of you might remember Miranda from a previous That’s So episode (That’s So: Unrest documentary) but we didn’t get to chat too much about her story then, so I’m really excited to be able to bring you this episode with a lot more information today!
