Seraphiend

The Seraphiend Podcast is inspired by duality and intersectionality. It bears the question of how can one person maintain their authenticity while being pulled in a hundred different directions? Do our decisions to "play on more than one side" upend out authenticity? Following the tragic death of George Floyd and against the backdrop of a country in the middle of a global health pandemic, host Seraphine Arrocha was inspired to hold candid and often difficult conversations with people who are learning to navigate the new normal as they continue to attempt to carry on with their everyday lives. The name of the podcast, Seraphiend, is a wordplay on the host's name and nickname (Phine). Seraphine often refers to a burning fire, while "phiend" (fiend) refers to an evil spirit and is used to reference someone with a pernicious habit. This duality of a burning fire, a passion and the struggle, usually those devils and angels that perch on our shoulders, pulling us in different directions, is precisely what the Seraphiend Podcast is all about! Each episode of the podcast will explore this concept through in-depth interviews with unique and diverse guests who frequently find themselves dedicating their lives to more than passion; more than one calling. You will hear from guests whose career and callings intersect to make the world a better place for all: activism, social justice, equal rights, environmentalism, animal activism, government and health care.
