My Crunchy Zen Era
Just your average millennial with a traumatic brain injury trying to simplify life in a chaotic world. Since I don't remember half of what I hear, the best option was obviously to record smart or interesting people (sometimes… they’re even both!!) answering my questions about life. And it'd just be downright awkward if I didn't share it on a podcast.
Welcome to My Crunchy Zen Era... we're not exactly sure what it is but we're figuring it out!
Hosted by Nicole Swisher.

Toupees, Chickens, and the Slow Build of Standup Comedy with Alex Velluto
What do toupee influencers, runaway kids, and velociraptors have in common?
Nicole sits down with comedian Alex Velluto to find out. From his first open mic at sixteen to three Dry Bar specials, Alex shares the chaos, craft, and slow grind of a comedy career.
We cover surprising jobs (including a teaching stint that ended with thirty kids fleeing lawnmowers), homeschooling his son, speaking three languages, and the philosophical importance of continental breakfast waffles.
And yes… there’s a chicken movie. A real one. With velociraptors. Heart, humor, and a touch of chaos—this episode is your vibe.
Enjoy the episode? Follow the show, share the episode with someone who needs a toupee, and leave a quick review.
