This is a Metaphor
There are so many ways to be a person. This Is A Metaphor is what happens when a curious creative can’t stop connecting dots. Life hands you a breakup, a bird call, a bagel? Boom. That’s a metaphor. This show isn’t therapy, and it isn’t theater, but it is art. It’s an existential treasure hunt—with jokes. Hosted by Mo Houston, a sharp-witted, soul-deep storyteller who views life through many lenses. She who knows the world makes sense… if you squint really hard. She’s lived out of suitcases and studios, built brands and burned out, laughed onstage and cried in voice notes. This podcast is kind of a memoir, a mirror, and definitely a metaphor.
This is a Metaphor
Introduction: This is a Metaphor
This is a Metaphor isn’t about what you think it’s about. It’s never about what we think it’s about. It’s deeply introspective, wildly human, and definitely artful. As a multi-disciplined human, I’ve found that the greatest gift I’ve been given is the one that deeply desires to connect as often, and as genuinely as possible with the room I’m in, and the world I’m exploring.
This podcast is part musings, part conversation, with much space left for iteration, contemplation, and integration. This is a metaphor, and it is not without its stories, it’s magic, and it’s humor.
This podcast is another way to push art into the world—less refined and untethered to perfection, these are free words, brought to you by a full-bodied creative mind—me, Mo Houston. A writer, illustrator, athlete, friend, and lover. And. A bunch of other things that are so literal that they deflate the magnetism of this introduction. Listen, follow, and connect.
