Food Addiction with Wendy Goeldner Hermes - a podcast by The Story King
from 2022-06-21T00:00
Today's conversation is with Wendy Goeldner Hermes. We discuss food addiction, the acting business (or the business of show, as Wendy puts it), as well as policies surrounding the pandemic for the past two years.
Wendy Goeldner Hermes began her acting career in 1988, after spending 4 years at DePaul University's Goodman School of Drama. After 3 years of soul-crushing auditions, for unscrupulous casting directors decades before the #MeToo movement, Wendy realized she loved the craft of acting but hated the business. Upon leaving "the business of show," she started a theater company with 8 other friends and fellow Chicago actors and directors called "The Griffin Theater." Wendy performed, ran lights, punched sound boards, and hung drywall.
After being transfixed about the inner workings of local politics, while trying to help run a theater space, Wendy shifted her focus to politics by using her public speaking savvy to navigate local, political campaigns from such various, local offices as school board, Illinois State Reps, U.S. Reps and super pacs.
During the 22 months of the Sars-CoV-2 pandemic, Wendy has been taking copious notes, recording data, watching task force meetings and "saving the receipts" on the changing tone of our politics. Look out for Wendy's new book For Those That Want It: My story on how Covid policies, protocols, promises & propaganda propelled me to join the Democrat Diaspora, coming to Amazon this winter!
