Michael Collins is a writer, podcaster, former academic, bodybuilder, and lapsed classical pianist who has hosted This Is Your Mixtape since October 2017. He is originally from Newfoundland, but has somehow spent the last twelve years in Toronto, Ontario.

Since Michael wasn’t up to interviewing himself, he invited his first guest, Chris (from Megaphonic podcasts It’s Just A Show and The Spouter-Inn) to ask him some questions. Michael and Chris talk about resilience, self-respect, false jadedness, long-term relationships, and climate apocalypse.
