What The Hell Is Water?: Recent Episodes
Tyson Fok
There are two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says “Morning, boys. How’s the water?” The two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes “What the hell is water?” Each week, Tyson Fok invites you to immerse yourself in a conversation that explores the “water” we all swim in but aren’t necessarily aware of. We’ll dive into everything from identity to creativity, humor, film, inspiration, mortality, and the search for capital-T Truth! Come on in, the water’s fine!

We have a very special and timely episode for the holiday season. This conversation centers around best practices in supporting survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. This can be a romantic partner, a parent, a friend, a client…someone you knew at the time of the abuse or not. We cover some of the basics here in the interview, but there are comprehensive online workshops available for FREE during the month of January. Please check them out and help spread the word!
