Dr. Sophia Alexis (D.S.A.): Thank you for having me! It’s grate to be here to discuss such an interesting topic.
T.N.E.: Tasos Bougas recently appeared on “The 2 Night Show,” where he talked about the challenges and experiences of nightlife.One of the standout moments was his reflection on quitting smoking and his commitment to staying healthy. What do you think this says about the evolving lifestyle of artists in the nightlife scene?

His commitment might resonate with a younger audience that values health and authenticity. This shift could signify a broader movement among artists to embrace healthier lifestyles despite the temptations of their environments.
T.N.E.: that’s a great point. Bougas also mentioned a troubling incident involving a substance that made him sick while performing. how does this incident reflect on the nightlife culture and the pressures artists face?

It’s crucial for artists and venues alike to prioritize safety and well-being.
