"Deuces to the Kid. Never see him again. Gang gang." That is just one of the tremendously funny and quotable moments from this episode.   I kick off my Sleepless In Seattle anonymous call in series with a sticky love situation. An anonymous caller divulges the juiciest juice on their forbidden workplace romance. A very humorous episode. Also, another caller shares their most embarrassing moment in life.

This episode, I chat with my brilliant friend Maria! Maria is a world traveler working in the STEM field. We talk about her Mexican heritage, her complex roots, and COVID in the region where she now lives. Her funny boyfriend tells us a memorable story, and we share excitement over the couple's first anniversary! Here's to more love and adventure in 2020! Happy anniversary you guys!

This is a song I'm pretty proud of. It's written for a biracial doctor character. This is for all of the nurses and medical professionals working as essential staff during COVID. Thank you! 

Enjoy more fun original theater music. Written for complex characters in the first response field.

This episode, I get to chat with my good friend, Esther. (I call her Starry, haha!) Esther is joining the Air Force Reserve, and is going to tell us all about it. She also chats about her experience as an Emergency Manager, her beautiful Chinese lineage, and a mysterious care package I have yet to receive! There's lot's of fun in store for you, McNuggites! 

This episode, I'm joined by the good humored Boji for a fun interview. Boji is a Cancer Researcher working at one of the leading Cancer research centers in NY state. Later on in this episode I anticipate a phone call from my father. The phone call never happens. Or does it? I also talk about the political use of Voudon by militaristic regimes in Haiti, and an eternal Christ like Afro-Latinx figurehead named Zumbi.

Haha! I made a few mistakes but this is a content packed episode for fans of STEM, biomedical research, and world culture.

A little work about magic and existentialism.

A political poem on existing while black, regimes in Haiti, and the truth about why people consume Voodoo culture in popular media. #BlackLivesMatter #HaitiMatters

A poetry series where I create artwork about complex topics with an intuitive, novice touch. Child like curiosity at play. For artistic STEM minds and bored people, haha!

In this episode, I interview a Jesuit brother named Erwin. His intelligent and informative conversation make for a high quality listen. Another rewarding slow burn on complex identity. 

A slow but satisfying burn. I get my good friend, Katura, on the phone for some fun reminiscing. Then, I talk to my dad about the Cuban Embargo Lift, Haitians during the Revolution, exemplary Cuban physicians, and maintaining a complex and patriotic American identity in a crosshatched global microcosm. Very evocative story telling by my dad. Get ready, fam.

S2:Ep 3 This is a first in presage history! A 30 minute episode featuring two guests and music clips by Utada Hikaru, Cardi B, Childish Gambino, the guy who wrote I Like Big Butts, and Ariana Grande! A very funny episode.

Here are some cozy island vibes for ya! A LoFi take on educational music, recorded with an iPhone. Features the beloved reggae song Apple of My Eye as a suffix. A very breathy recording with major living room vibes.

This episode, Mac's mic quality gets an epic upgrade! She chats about the black/white color binary, semidiurnal wave cycles, lineage, and rock. Listen in.

Get ready for Season 2 of Presage! 

A fresh track as a presage of what's to come!

I been walkin' through the heavens lookin' for a flash.

The end of a season is the beginning of an era. Here's to signs and wonders in the new year. #Ides

It's the end, but it's not the end! I hope you've enjoyed this experiment. In this episode we unpack a poem that toasts Haiti's beauty and complexity. Cheers and thanks for listening!

This is the next to last episode in this strange series of events! Have you enjoyed it?

This episode, I explore the problematic color binary that is a widget to black worldviews. Get ready for some real life magic, scary coincidence, and goofy laughs!

In this episode I introduce flash nonfiction, tell you about how I met a dignitary, and dig an ever deeper hole for us to fall down. When will I get to talking about my childhood?

In this episode of Presage, we introduce another element into this experimental sound mix: an email I sent to myself. In this email, I disclose (through the medium of micro-nonfiction) how I came to be repatriated to mainland USA from Chuuk, FSM. It's spooky! Hang in there, I'll eventually tie this up nicely--or not!

Hi, I'm Mac. I'm like Sabrina the Teenaged Witch—but *neckroll, tongue pop* guh-rown and black. This my experimental podcast. In this inceptive episode, I begin to tell the story of my spooky lineage.

My great grandma had a seeing eye, and if you stood behind one of her shoulders, you might get a peek over the Great Divide. My dad is from Haiti, a misunderstood island nation where Voudon isn’t just a religion—it’s complex, nuanced weaponry in the despotic house of nepotism. My mom made us go to black peepo Church where exorcisms happened often enough that ushers provided vomit trashcans to peeps at the altar as an amenity. Needless to say, as a kid my spooky a** wanted to be on check wid God, ya feel? 

Now I’m practically atheist. What happened? Well, I've got an irreverent sense of humor, and so much time thanks to the Coronavirus. So come and chill, fam. You might need a corona for this one.
