Episode 102 - Talking with Veronica aka @Bipolarbetch on TikTok and new bipolar book out now!
***Trigger warning: this episode includes adult themes and discussion of suicide and other topics that could be triggering to some listeners***
Welcome to the Killing Time With Arch Podcast, the show where I talk to your favorite and soon to be new-favorite tiktok creators! My guest today is a fellow TikTok creator who has bipolar type 1 (like myself) and who I think has one of the funniest and realest accounts around about bipolar disorder. She talks about all of the funny and cringey and scary things about bipolar disorder on there and shares some great insights about living with it, all while educating her audience and helping eliminate the stigma around the illness. Her name is Veronica and she goes by @bipolarbetch on TikTok, and in my interview with her I talk with her about everything from the time she put all of her exes together in a group chat to our strict drug regimens. You can find her on Instagram as well, so be sure to give her a follow!
If you'd like to watch this episode, you can find the video podcast on my YouTube channel here!
Also, the big news since my last episode is that I now have a book out! It’s called One Dude’s Guide to Being Bipolar: How to Stay the Hell Out of Grippy Socks Jail, Achieve Anyways, and Abide Always, and if you’re someone who suffers from bipolar disorder or know someone who does, this book is for you!
Check out my author website www.gemcitydudeistpriest.com/bipolardudeguide for more information on how to find the paperback, ebook, and audiobook (which I read myself!), and please be sure to leave a review wherever you read or listen to it!
Killing Time Episode 101 - Talking with Laura @thebpspouse from TikTok
Editor's note: A previous version of this podcast was released in error that did not include the guest's audio and that has since been updated, so if your podcast service hasn't updated it yet to include that then please check back later.
My guest today is Laura, although she’s better known on TikTok as @thebpspouse, short for bipolar spouse. As someone who has bipolar 1 disorder like her husband does, I have to say she’s given me huge insights into what my partners have gone through while I’ve suffered from mania and depression, because it affects the whole family.
I’ve enjoyed watching her on TikTok for a while now not only because she makes learning about bipolar entertaining, but also because her account is full of so many great tips and is just overall very educational.
Join me for my discussion with her on this episode, and if you'd like to join the inaugural weekly gathering of the Gem City Circle of Dudeists' Bipolar Support Group, then please join tonight at 8PM. Details can be found at gemcitycircleofdudeists.org/bipolarsupport.

100th Episode Special - Interview with Mary Theadoor aka @marynowns on TikTok
My guest today is Mary Theodore, who goes by @marynown on TikTok. In addition to creating a really uplifting account, she is an amazing, talented, and very multi-faceted individual, so join me as we explore some of those facets together when I talk with Mary on today's show. You can find Mary's link tree at https://linktr.ee/MaryDoctor and that's where you can find links to her TikTok channel, her spicy pages, and more! So be sure to check it out. On the show, we talk about all kinds of things from Eckhart Tolle to religion to mindfulness and more. We also talked a little bit about Mary's design skills, which she's using to create a cover for my book about how to survive being diagnosed with bipolar disorder. You're not going to want to miss this one!

Killing Time Episode 96 - Talking with Kyle AKA "Homebrewcity" from TikTok
Well it's certainly been a minute and I hate that it took me this long to get such a great episode out, but I sat down with Kyle, AKA "Homebrewcity" on TikTok, to talk about homebrewing. And not just your typical beer homebrewing. We also talk about mead, acerglyn, hop tea, and much more. Find him on TikTok at www.tiktok.com/@homebrewcity.
The long hiatus is due to the fact that I went through a divorce and planned to move out of the country to Bosnia and Herzegovina around this time last year, but I met someone new and fell in love and decided to stay, so I'm back to podcasting finally once again, and it's nice to be back. I just needed a hiatus is all.
You'll hear me mention this in the episode, but I hope you'll check out my new website, www.gemcitydudeistpriest.com, and learn more about some of the other side gigs I'm doing, which range from being a wedding officiant to taking people on trips to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Check it out to learn more!
Killing Time Episode 95 - Interview with Turbofolk Sensation/"Helikopter" Song Artist Fazlija in Sarajevo
On the show today is an interview I managed to do in Sarajevo this past summer with Turbofolk musical sensation, Fazlija, who is from Bosnia and Herzegovina and happened to be doing a show in Sarajevo during my trip there this summer, which I also attended. Many thanks to him for sitting down to talk with me, and to my friend, Midhat Efendira, for translating the conversation!

Killing Time Episode 94 - Talking with Arielle Nissenblatt of EarBuds Podcast Collective
As I write this I am at the Podcast Movement's annual conference in Dallas, TX for the first time ever and so I felt this would be a good interview to publish after my (more than) two-month hiatus... which I apologize for. But, I’m excited to get to talk to someone with a ton of podcasting experience and expertise, Arrielle Nissenblatt, who is the founder of the EarBuds Podcast Collective, which is a newsletter that goes out weekly and gives you recommendations on podcasts to check out, so I’m sure that she will have some good ones for us as well today. She also co-hosts two podcasts (that I know of) and is just an all-around interesting person, so join me as we talk about everything from podcast marketing to the migration and assimilation patterns of the Kaifeng Jews!

Killing Time Episode 92 - Talking with Home Chef Asher AKA "Badger's Bargain Bites" on TikTok
My guest on Killing Time With Arch today is Asher, AKA “Badger’s Bargain Bites” on TikTok. His bio explains that he is a home cook, broke, mostly vegetarian, and great at cooking but bad at filming. I, however, would take issue with that last part, as I really enjoy his videos. He’s not only entertaining but educational as well, and it was a lot of fun sitting down to talk with him. Oh, and did I mention he’s from the UK? So join us as we talk about that, his recipes, podcast recommendations, and more. So tune in now!

Welcome to the Killing Time With Arch podcast! On today’s episode, I am talking with Nick Brown, AKA @Chain….smoker on TikTok. He is pretty much the only person I follow on TikTok who represents the “pipetok” community, as in tobacco pipe smoking. I’ve actually had the privilege of meeting him at a pipe show down in Tennessee and then we set up a time to do an interview, so I hope you enjoy it!
To find Nick on TikTok, you can find him @Chain….smoker.
He’s on Instagram as @cha1n_smoker.

Killing Time Episode 89 - @ChicagoDiveDiva from TikTok
On today’s episode of Killing Time I’m excited to get to talk to Chicago’s Ms. Dive Diva, whose goal it is to find the “diviest dive bar” in all of Chicago. She’s on TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram as @chicagodivediva and she has a blog as well that we’ll also talk about, so join me as we talk about everything from Mallort to the bar in the Chicago Art Museum in this episode. Also, as a fun aside, I happened to be visiting Chicago recently and got to meet up and hang out and have some Mallory and Old Styles at Rossi’s, a downtown dive bar, so if you follow me on TikTok you’ll see a video collaboration of the two of us!
If you’d like to learn more and find her blog or check out her cool merch, visit https://chicagodivediva.company.site/.
The bars that Ms. Dive Diva recommended on this episode were:
Simon's Tavern in Andersonville
The Loyalist (not a dive though!) - Say Dive Diva sent you and tell John that Dive Diva said hi!
*Also a quick correction: I mentioned that we met the owner of the Old Town Ale House, but I actually did not... apparently he's the owner's ex-husband. He's a really cool guy though that did an episode with Anthony Bourdain and also painted him... and he has some unique paintings.
