Send us Fan Mail What Does Ratso Rizzo & Lizzo have in Common? Eric tries to answer the question by comparing the character Ratso Rizzo, (an Anit-Villaninous Deuteragonist), from the 1969 movie "Midnight Cowboy" to Lizzo. (An anti-villain is a character who has heroic personality traits or goals but is ultimately the bad guy in this story. For example, an anti-villain may have noble goals, but their means to attain that goals are evil.) Support the show https://a.co/d/45zcB3L

Eric Stephen Booth has worn many hats over a long and creative life-playwright, poet, filmmaker, and award-winning Bronx artist, to name just a few. Now, from the vantage point of his seven decades, he’s turning the microphone inward. The Craziness That Lives Inside My Head! is exactly what it promises: an unfiltered, personal audio journal where Booth-Driver-Robinson gives voice to the whirlwind of thoughts, memories, and observations gathered from a lifetime of unique experience. As a Black, gay American man, his perspective is deeply informed by the cultural and historical currents he’s lived through, all filtered through a sharp, often comedic lens. This isn’t a formal lecture or a tidy narrative. Instead, each episode feels like a conversation with a brilliantly insightful friend who might pivot from a poignant personal story to a witty critique of society, all grounded in real, earthbound experience. The podcast draws naturally from his work in theater and film, but the core is always his distinctive, reflective voice. You’ll hear the weight of history and the levity of daily absurdity, often in the same breath. It’s a rare blend of comedy, personal journal, and cultural commentary, offering listeners a seat at the table for stories that are profoundly specific yet universally resonant. Tune in for a journey through the past and present, guided by a storyteller who has truly seen and lived it.
