In episode 545 I chat with Duke Al. Duke is a spoken word artist and OCD advocate. 

In this episode Duke reads some of his poems about OCD and explains the meanings behind them, including a new one partially inspired by a bit of my own story, he talks the power of poetry, and how he used poetry as a self-therapy, and much more. Hope it helps. 

Poems read:

Poetry and rhyme 

A Letter to myself about letters 

Dear Chris

I wish 

Little Duke

Numbers, prayers, checks 

A couple brand new poems currently untitled
