We talk about how he ended up in the Peace Corps, what he saw filming in Afghanistan, and how Island Soldier keeps finding new life years later. Along the way, we get into creativity, survival, and what it actually means to “make it” as a filmmaker.

You can learn more about Nathan and watch some of his work at nathan-fitch.com, and you can see some of his photography on his Instagram @nathanfitch

We talk about growing up small and non-athletic in the suburbs, learning about life from movies, getting love-bombed by a Christian youth group, successfully avoiding sex for most of high school, a mushroom trip that spiraled into months of nihilism and two suicide attempts, and the offhand comment from a stranger at 3 a.m. in a New York City pizza shop that pulled him out of it. Also: ketamine and a box of childhood action figures, why Columbus isn’t real, and why humping the Empire State Building is not okay.

Content warning: This episode includes extensive talk about sex and drugs, and quite a bit of swearing, so probably don't listen with your kids.

Nicholas and I have made a lot of things together over the years, and this time the thing we made is a conversation about fatherhood, faith, AI, and why technology might be the new religion. We get into logic and mystery, and the strange comfort of the small rituals that hold a life together.

]]>I sit down (virtually) with my old friend — actor, musician, writer, and unapologetic decaf drinker — Nicholas Webber. Nicholas and I have made a lot of things together over the years, and this time the thing we made is a conversation about fatherhood, faith, AI, and why technology might be the new religion. We get into logic and mystery, and the strange comfort of the small rituals that hold a life together.

We trade stories about burnout, ideology, and how a job that’s supposed to “change the world” can quietly drain your sense of meaning. Evelyn traces her path from congressional communications director to Substack essayist, and we get into money in politics, media grift, the post-2024 hangover, Tucker Carlson’s odd influence, and what it means to live an honest life after leaving Washington.

We get into what combat actually does to a person, how PTSD shows up years later, the strange afterlife of military service, dating as a veteran, personal growth, and even Napster. It’s a grounded conversation about war, recovery, identity, and what it takes to rebuild a life once the adrenaline is gone.

We get into how he built a creative life out of volume, discipline, and weirdness; the reality of DIY filmmaking; why niche art survives in a homogenized America; and what happens when you commit to your own strange corner of the world long enough for it to work. It’s a conversation about making things, finishing things, and not waiting for permission.

You can learn more about Matt and experience more of his work at his website, moternmedia.com, or by searching for your name (with or without poop) on your favorite music listening platform.
