<a href="https://twitter.com/ismathers">Ian Mathers</a> is a writer and editor living
in Toronto with his wife and a very needy cat. His work has appeared in
Stylus, the Singles Jukebox, the Village Voice, Dusted, Pop Matters, and
elsewhere. In his spare time he looks for weird new beers to try and runs a
D&amp;D game for his wife and friends.
Ian and Michael discuss fatphobia, non-religious appreciation of religion,
abusive workplaces, the Canadian immigration system, and mixtapes as courtship
material.
