Sacred Symbols+, Episode 499 | Checking-In With Gene Park (Patreon)

Please welcome Punching Up co-host and Washington Post writer Gene Park back to Sacred Symbols+. If you haven't heard, Gene is going through a difficult time right now. Unfortunately, the cancer he was first diagnosed with in 2022 and entered remission from in 2023 has returned, and the short story is that he's days away from a lobectomy that aims to solve this awful problem once and for all. I (Colin) know our fanbase has been concerned for Gene, and that some of you don't even know what's going on at all. So I figured I'd dedicate an episode of Sacred+ to talk to my friend face-to-face, covering what he's going through and how he's dealing with everything, and to give him an opportunity to speak with the many thousands of you out there that are already firmly in his corner.
