Welcome!

I’m J. Conner Dempsey: a writer, podcast host, and creative thinker focused on stories about identity, self-awareness, and being real in a world that often rewards the opposite.

I’m building this site to share my essays, audio projects, and upcoming books. In the meantime, you can:

• ✍️ Read my essays on Substack
   
• 🎙️ Listen to my film & TV podcast The HooperCast Movie Hour
   
• 📬 Drop your email below to get updates when the full site launches
   

Thanks for visiting. I’m glad you’re here.
