What this is

It's not about me. The name is the joke.

"this is stacey" sounds like an introduction — a label, an identity. It isn't. This is a show about taking the labels apart: the political ones, the religious ones, the ones we wear so long we forget we put them on.

We don't do hot takes. We do slow questions. I ask people smarter than me to defend what they believe from the ground up — and I'll laugh with them the whole way down. An anti-identity, in black and white.

Be a guest

Think you can defend it from first principles?

I'm looking for people with a conviction and the spine to be questioned on it — believers and skeptics, builders and contrarians. Bring the belief. I'll bring the questions.

Or just want to say hello? Use the form — it comes straight to me.

Got it. Thanks for reaching out — if it's a fit, you'll hear back at the email you gave.
