From Stardust To Us
Our Shared Humanity: Comic and Bestselling Author John Roedel
It’s been almost two years since our last conversation with John Roedel, an episode that quickly became one of our most listened-to.
This time, John returns to share the working title of his forthcoming book of poems and blessings, Anointing this Threshold. Keep an eye out for this beautiful new collection.
We also dive into his recent Substack post, Bloodlust Celibacy, where John confronts something haunting at the heart of America. What begins with an unexpected visit to a friend’s basement filled with guns unfolds into a reckoning with our nation’s addiction to violence and a culture where weapons are not only owned but celebrated.
Join us as we discover what has developed for John in his career and life in this heartfelt conversation.
John Roedel is a comic who unexpectedly gained notability as a writer and poet through his heartfelt Facebook conversations that went viral and became an Amazon best-selling book titled, Hey God. Hey John.
He is the author of eight books—Hey God. Hey John, Any Given Someday, Untied: The Poetry of What Comes Next, Remedy, Upon Departure, Fitting In is For Sardines, WonderAche, and his latest work, “And Now…A Word From Your Ghosts.”
Offering a sincere and very relatable look at his faith crisis, mental health, personal struggles, perception of our world, and even his fashion sense, John’s writing has been shared millions of times across social media and lauded by fans and readers worldwide. He teaches at universities and retreat centers across the US/Europe, blending his trademark comedy with creative exercises, journaling, dialogue, and introspection to help people fearlessly embrace and share their personal stories.
