Cynara Geissler wears many hats and cat dresses. We talked about youth culture in the upcoming Poetry is Dead magazine, the evolution of body acceptance, and balancing anger and humour on her fantastic podcast Fatties on Ice. Cynara reads a poem, swears once and laughs often. She defends the selfie. Do yourself a favour and listen!

If you’re curious about PEDAL and haven’t had a chance to hear me talk about it, you should listen to last night’s episode of The Storytelling Show.
