A conversation with Chuck Copenspire
the conversation
Art as activism, advocacy, and rebuilding in public.
They’ve given a TEDx talk, built a poetry nonprofit, survived exploitation, and can pull a meal out of the woods. Chuck Copenspire calls themselves the world’s most interesting podcast guest. After an hour and a half, you might agree.
In the very first episode of Weirdinary, BradQuan sits down with Chuck for a conversation that moves through art as activism, community work, disability advocacy, their encounters with sexual exploitation, and what it takes to rebuild yourself in public.
Weirdinary is a documentary conversation podcast from Albany, NY, hosted by writer and journalist BradQuan Copeland. It explores the psycho-philosophical inner worlds of everyday people in order to better understand ourselves.
