Malone","episode_count":62,"summary":"Ink Speak : A Podcast for Storytellers, Dreamers & Seekers Have you ever felt like there’s more to life than what you’re living? I did too, until I set fire to the life I thought I was supposed to have and chose myself instead. Once choice led to another and I crash landed here, to tell the story of the magic that happened along the way. I’m Maverick Malone ( @mavmalone )—author, poet, and spoken word artist—and this podcast is a space for everyone. Most podcasts teach, interview, or perform, but this one just lives. It's a podcast you step into. Ink Speak is where personal storytelling meets poetry, magic, and the raw human experience. Each episode feels like sitting down together in real time. Sometimes I’m in my backyard, sometimes I’m traveling, sometimes I’m in the middle of something I don’t fully understand yet. But wherever I am, you’re right there with me. Every episode begins with a poem or spoken word piece that sets the tone, then unfolds into raw, unfiltered storytelling—about love, loss, transformation, spirituality, and the in-between moments most people don’t share. This is a space for thinking differently, seeing your life from a new angle, and feeling a little le…","last_synced_at":"2026-09-06T12:19:02.371741+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ink-speak-with-maverick-malone-6406875"},"episode":{"title":"47. “In Defense of Bears” - Why Women Are Exhausted & My Response to Viral Misogyny","slug":"47-in-defense-of-bears-why-women-are-exhausted-my-response-to-viral-misogyny","published_at":"2025-06-05T05:13:58+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ink-speak-with-maverick-malone-6406875/47-in-defense-of-bears-why-women-are-exhausted-my-response-to-viral-misogyny","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ink-speak-with-maverick-malone-6406875","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/inkspeak/2059912","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/212166/2059912/inkspeak/2026_05_29_22_07_26_299ea1a7-8c2e-42e9-815f-f32146497caa.mp3","summary":"In this episode, I unpack a viral dumpster fire of a post dripping with misogyny, projection, and unhealed wounds masquerading as “truth” (it's an absolute ridiculous word salad worth the listen). We talk incel culture, emotional labor, spiritual bypassing, and why women are tired of having to translate their pain just to be heard. This is an episode for anyone who has ever felt exhausted trying to explain their pain to someone who refused to understand it (or even hear it); for the women who are tired of carrying the emotional labor and for the men who want to do better but aren’t sure where to start. Ultimately, it's for anyone trying to make sense of why the conversation around relationships feels so broken.
