Surviving-ISH Podcast

"Surviving-ish" is a podcast with a unique and purposeful dual focus. The "Surviving-ish" is our way of creating a space for lightheartedness—it’s about the everyday, petty grievances that are frustrating but also a source of shared, human comedy. These are the moments we survive, like when the laundry pod explodes all over the clothes, your morning coffee isn't quite hot enough, or a passive-aggressive text from a relative ruins your mood. The core mission behind "Surviving-ish" is to show our audience that while we may have been victims of serious circumstances, that does not mean people have to walk on eggshells around us. We believe in the power of laughter and the importance of finding humor in life's small frustrations. By blending serious topics with these minor, everyday grievances, we aim to normalize the idea that it's okay to joke and laugh, even after enduring significant challenges.

  Did ONE Juror Hijack the Lindsay Clancy Trial? (The 11-to-1 Mistrial Breakdown)

  Sep 8, 202610 min

  Send us Fan Mail Was the Lindsay Clancy trial doomed from the start, or did one single detail hijack the entire justice system? In this episode of Surviving-ish , we are diving deep into the massive legal shockwave out of Massachusetts: seven straight days of deliberations, over 36 hours locked in a jury room, 85 witnesses—and an absolute MISTRIAL. According to court filings and statement notes, 11 jurors saw the evidence one way, while ONE single male juror stood completely isolated. The foreperson even sent a note to the judge stating this holdout juror explicitly acknowledged out loud that REASONABLE DOUBT existed… yet still refused to vote Not Guilty. Is this a juror doing his civic duty, or holding the entire court hostage to a personal agenda? We are breaking down the public court records, the 11-to-1 jury breakdown, and the unanswered forensic anomalies surrounding January 24th. DISCLAIMER: This podcast is based on public court records, news reporting, and official transcripts. All commentary, opinions, and visual breakdowns represent personal views and analysis for educational and commentary purposes.

  Algorithms, Ex-Fundamentalism & Fake Bible Facts w/ guest Daniel Alzate

  Aug 5, 20261h 11mS2

  Send us Fan Mail David records an impromptu conversation with returning guest Daniel, who shares what he’s “surviving-ish” after moving farther from work and reframing commute frustration by using it to improve his Spanish, including plans for Spanish TikToks. David vents about rushed deck painting mishaps, then they discuss Daniel’s background leaving a fundamentalist Christian sect and why he makes TikTok series like “Silly Things I Used to Believe When I Was a Christian,” Bible contradictions, and responses to Christian creators. Daniel contrasts mostly positive TikTok feedback with angry YouTube comments, explains he no longer identifies as Christian or believes in the supernatural, and emphasizes critical thinking. They break down a viral “7 Bible facts” video (Noah’s Ark blood types, laminin “cross,” ichthys “secret code”), connect uncritical belief to harmful outcomes, and Daniel recounts a Bible college hypocrisy story about being condemned for buying Riverdance tickets while staff attended. #christian #deconstruction #bible #podcast #facts Support the show

  YOU Survived the Unthinkable": Healing, Hard Truths, & Reclaiming Your Power

  Jul 28, 20261h 19mS2

  Send us Fan Mail Host David welcomes Christine Blosdale, an Australia-based expert authority coach who helps entrepreneurs get seen, trusted, and paid through branding, messaging, and media. David shares how his podcast began during COVID after therapy stopped, following a brutal anti-gay hate crime and rape that shaped his healing and the show’s shift to “Surviving-ish,” where trauma and everyday grievances can coexist. Christine’s current “ish” includes parenting pet peeves and turning away potential clients whose negativity blocks progress, emphasizing energy, credibility, and fit. They discuss protecting guests who aren’t ready to share publicly, how trauma can change trust and identity, and the need to address root causes of abuse and mental health. The conversation expands to U.S. politics, misogyny, homophobia, and power, before Christine plugs her book The Expert Authority Code and offers David a discovery call and longer coaching support. https://www.christineblosdale.com/ Support the show
