How do you name a chronic illness podcast? Is improv a cult? Remember when Twitter was good? We explore all this and more important topics on this episode of Just A Spoonful. Kaitlyn's guests this episode are chronically ill cinephiles Izzie Austin and Silvi Vann-Wall, cohosts of the Pill Pop podcast (presented by the Wheeler Centre).
Izzie is a PhD candidate in Cinema Studies, and Silvi is the Film Content Lead at Screenhub Australia, and we talk about what we want out of a film-going experience, why you should always watch the Fast franchise in a car, and the very surprising way that one of my guests went viral. Silvi is also an improviser at Melbourne's Improv Conspiracy, and talks about their experience of improv as a neurodivergent and chronically ill performer.
