CODE-SWITCHING with Rick Lockhart

Julie and Casey sit down with Rick Lockhart to talk voice, identity and code switching.  Rather than a "how to", this is a very personal discussion surrounding the need and impact for code switching for anyone that lives outside the "mythic norm".

Rick Lockhart grew up on Chicago’s west side and west suburb of Maywood. Currently living on the city’s northwest side with his fiancé, Al, and their two puppies (Jackson and Theodore), he currently works as an engineering recruiting specialist, although he  spent most of his working career in various positions in restaurant hospitality.  Outside of work, Rick spends time acting in musical theater and co-hosting a radio talk show with his fiancé.  He’s had the pleasure of living throughout the Midwest, Tri-State, and the south, which has afforded him the opportunity to meet so many great people.
