    Alison's Camping Trip, John Ross Bowie's Breezy Kilt, Jonah Ray's Goth Fest May 19, 2022

    Jonah Ray and John Ross Bowie join Daniel and me for TONY'S PICKS #4! Can you believe this half-assed disaster has gone on for four episodes and not only hasn't imploded but has actually gone well? Some might even consider it an improvement. Anyway, the camping truthers have come for me because I dare referred to the trip I took to the heart of darkness (a campground and RV park with a number of preschoolers) as camping. IT WAS CAMPING TO ME! Also Daniel and I made plans to hire a private investigator to get to the bottom of a couple who were very nearly publicly porking at Fleming's in Pasadena but then it turned out there was nothing to investigate which was quite a let down. John wore a kilt at the Renn Faire and Jonah was among the goths. Tony cried a lot at Paul McCartney. Plus a Heathers quiz!

    Tony's Mom-Muffin Munchin', Ben Acker's Horse Hats, Todd Cooper's Lies May 12, 2022

    It's Tony's Picks #3 if you can believe it!

Also we learn about Maypril, a man who violently loves roses, various fun facts, some lies, my dream about Tony and my mom's muffin, Todd's interpretation of said dream, Danhausen, validation and more!

    A.J. Jacobs Is Back! May 02, 2022

    My favorite immersion journalist, A.J. Jacobs (The Year Of Living Biblically, The Know-It-All) is back with another book where he's thrown himself into a specific world—this time that of puzzles. He even dragged his semi-willing family all the way to Spain to participate in a jigsaw puzzle contest. I asked him to rank his books in order of most to least pleasurable to write and we talked about crossword puzzles, dirty monks, nudists and escape rooms, gratitude, possums and so much more. We also did a round of Just Me Or Everyone and HGFY! Get The Puzzler wherever you get books!

(EW) RJ City is here, along with comic, host, producer Brandie Posey (Lady to Lady) and Daniel to help determine whether I should have demanded a better haiku from a nice lady with an old-fashioned typewriter. Also, business cards for the two times I leave my house and go to Jackie's? Feel like everyone is so quick to crap on my dreams. Plus fun facts, wrestler secrets, Twilight Zone, office supplies, Jim Carrey and more. Plus Just Me Or Everyone and iTunes Comments of the Week.

    Upworthy Weekly! (Questions for God, Lyft Driver menu, Snoopworthy) Apr 25, 2022

    Ok so this week I am introducing you all to my newest show, one I know you've heard me talking quite a bit about, Upworthy Weekly. This is a pretty high stakes introduction, sort of like introducing your new beau to your old best friend. When I introduced Daniel (new beau, now husband) to Trevor (old best friend) way back when, it went swimmingly. In fact, Trevor officiated at our wedding. But what it it had been disastrous? I guess what I'm saying is if you all play your cards right, you could officiate at my wedding to Upworthy Weekly? Wait, that makes no sense. Also, it's common knowledge at magazines and newspapers that you aren't supposed to use the same word repeatedly which is why you'll hear film, flick, feature, movie, etc in one story. However this isn't a magazine, it's an episode summary, so I will use the word introduce so many times it loses meaning and you will thank me!

    Anyway, about this episode!

    This week’s show touches on everything from religion to psychology to criminology. Alison and Tod open with an appeal to have a legendary rapper co-host the show. They move on to discuss a clever Lyft driver’s ride menu, a guy who was raised to be the perfect husband, and questions we’d ask God.

    Plus, Tod’s caffeine addiction is leading him astray and Alison shares marriage advice.

    Matt Gourley's Opposites, Mark McConville's Ponies, The Bumping of Alison Apr 21, 2022

    It's the first episode of TONY'S PICKS (where Tony Thaxton books my guests) and anything could happen! He's booked Matt Gourley and Mark McConville who've come equipped with fun facts and silly games. Do they hate water just as much as I do? Plus playing the ponies, Matt's Easter hunt, town in Orange County, Tony's editing, Game of Thrones talk, TV talk, a truly confusing experience for yours truly where it turns out no one uses "bump" the way I do and so much more.

    Hawaii, Soup, Ghosts! Apr 14, 2022

    Betsy Sodaro, Daniel and Tony are here but Daniel has to leave before the end of the show. How best to make use of our limited Daniel time? The plan was to recount some of the most pressing stories from our recent trip to Hawaii but we got sidetracked because Betsy Sodaro experienced life-altering soup in Santa Fe and that felt very important. Honestly, it was the perfect segue into the 41 minute trivia question that Daniel presented me with in Hawaii which involved soup and which he recapitulated on the show but in a mercifully shortened form. Play along at home! Plus a giant misunderstanding involving human sacrifice and jogging, my koala, country music, ghosts, kids, first class, Freaks & Geeks and more! Also we did a round of Just Me Or Everyone!

    I've been in a melancholy mood for no good reason and I want to know what what everyone else on the show does when they're also feeling down. Ken Reid, Renee Colvert, Tony Thaxton and Daniel weigh in. Also we talk again about Tony's love affair with self-checkout and the period of my life where I kept bursting into tears when I heard "Need You Now" at the grocery store.

    When I was 24 I made a list of qualities I was looking for in a soulmate. How close did I get with Daniel? I read the list, some of which I no longer even understand, and we discuss. Plus Daniel's Starbucks wife, the Walgreen's incident, 311, a commenter who got under my skin, matcha, whether DQ is a classic ass man, your calls and so much more.

    Daniel and Alison (Your Calls and Elliot's Leprechaun Song) Mar 28, 2022

I am carrying the show, hence one set of footprints. We take your calls and Daniel has a lot of say about rivers. Plus the most teenagery teenager we ever saw and a memorable crop dusting. And a performance of Irish folk song "Wee Falorie Man" by Elliot at the end.

Jordan is showing off his newly renovated home office and needs our thoughts on a potentially enraging conversation he had at a party.

    Mike Sacks Mar 14, 2022

    Mike Sacks writes about comedy for The New Yorker, The New York Times and Vanity Fair to name a few but he also writes comedy himself. His latest book, Passing on the Right is written from the point of Skippy "Batty" Battison, a fictional right wing comedian, podcaster and satellite radio shock-jock whose takes are too hot for the mainstream, or so he believes, and who is so familiar I was sure he was based on an actual person (Sacks swears he is not). The book, like all of Sacks work, is hilarious. We talked about how his OCD helps him write, his daily routine, whether he has a chip on his shoulder, early aspirations, his unlikely path to interviewing, assholes in comedy, Alex Jones, confident morons, spices with no business in food and so much more. We also did a round of Just Me Or Everyone and HGFY.

    Buttholes, Nukes, Baby Names! Mar 10, 2022

    Jackie Johnson, Ben Sheehan, Tony Thaxton and Daniel are here to get to the bottom, no pun intended, of a lot of things. Do you know what color your you-know-what is? Jackie is surprised to learn hers is a deep purple while most of the dudes on the show claim ignorance of their own special shade. We talk about what's in store for Jackie's third trimester and Daniel offers some unique baby names as only he can. Ben quizzes us on which countries have the most nukes and we also talk smoothies. Plus double tipping and my proprietary ideas for how to disrupt the seven billion dollar medical tech industry.

    Beth Lapides Mar 07, 2022

    Writer, actor, host and comedy legend Beth Lapides has been referred to by The LA Times as the "Godmother of alternative comedy" for creating the long running UnCabaret—one of the first, if not the very first alt-comedy shows. Now she's released So You Need to Decide, an audiobook that's part memoir, part conversation about decision-making featuring discussions with some of your favorite comedians. We talked about growth, turning down Oprah, creating UnCabaret, changing your mind, dancing with chaos, MTV, accepting Tony's first offer and so much more. We also did a round of Just Me Or Everyone and Hey Go Fuck Yourself.

    Tod Perry's Tortoises, Robin Shorr's High School Diary, Tony's Immediate Shower Feb 24, 2022

    Do you take a shower immediately upon waking? Tony does. And then he puts on shoes! (And also clothes.) I prefer to wake up slowly before being violently accosted by wetness. Tod Perry is here and he frequents the same sandwich shop where Greg Heller famously left a Yelp review for reasons we can't remember. Robin Shorr is here and she brought her diary! And turns out Tod did as well! An embarrassment of diaries! Daniel is here and he's so sick of me talking about his mayonnaise habit but I refuse to stop. Plus some Generation X talk and so much more!

    Renee's Berry Farm, Ken's Maledictorian, Happy Thanksgiving! Nov 25, 2021

    Daniel was salutatorian in high school but didn't give a speech. Also the valedictorian didn't give a speech or even attend the graduation because his high school was, as we find out, cruel. Ken Reid wanted his high school to have a maledictorian. Renee Colvert went to Knott's Merry Farm and saw a show which raises some questions about the rapture. I don't like haunted houses. Tony might be the headliner tonight, but I doubt it. Also, a laser went up Ken's pee hole!

    Greg Heller's Candy Question, Daniel's Shower Placard, Al's Rules Nov 04, 2021

    Greg, Jenna, Al, Jeff, Daniel, and Tony ALL ON ONE EPISODE? It's less chaotic and more heartwarming than it sounds. Greg has some questions about who is responsible for making sure children don't take fist fulls of Halloween candy (the parents or the candy giver) and I want to get to the bottom of Krackel. Jenna has some Butterfinger thoughts and I need advice. Greg's kid is barfing which reminds me of the time I came down with hand, foot and mouth in high school after visiting a contaminated beach. And Daniel roasts me with a truly creative shower joke. Plus so much more including Just Me Or Everyone, Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, the Burbank Witch and more.

    International superstar and my real life friend Mary Lynn Rajskub makes her Thursday show debut and Dave Huntsberger is quick to point out that he is also my friend and yet I just glossed right over that.

    Paul Rust and Michael Cassady are back! Michael's broken into a new home with a different camera angle. Paul has some stuff to say about the Spice Girls. Also we break down how to work your way up from lowly passenger to pilot in one transatlantic flight. Tony didn't have to go through the formal steps because he's famous. We also talk about commuter mugs, broken glass, my interview with Emily Oster, The Eyes of Tammy Faye, words with regional pronunciations, caramel, the one where Monica words a turkey on her head and so much more.

    Daniel and Alison (Your Calls and Daniel's Texas Rant) Sep 13, 2021

    Daniel has some harsh words for Texas and he won't back down. He also has harsh words for Alison who can barely hack attending preschool for three hours in the sun with Owen. Has Alison become even more accustomed to inactivity? A caller moved from California to Texas and feels it's a big mistake. Another caller is moving to Canada. Alison thinks all moves are a little traumatic and Daniel disagrees which is so Daniel. Another caller claims to be Tony Thaxton but he sounds more like Greg Heller. Plus some TV Talk, Alison's genius wearable/disposable tech idea and more.

    Emily Oster Sep 06, 2021

    Emily Oster is an economics professor and author whose hugely popular books—Expecting Better, Cribsheet, and her latest, The Family Firm—help parents make better decisions by analyzing data. Expecting Better was recommended to me by friend of show Mary Katharine Ham when I was pregnant with Elliot and I've been a fan ever since. She's written numerous pieces during the pandemic about analyzing risk. Also, she holds a PhD from Harvard! We talked about what she loves about research, growing up the daughter of two Yale professors, the sausage roll disaster of 2020, whether she always wanted children, knowing she was done after two, her relationship with decisions, living in Rhode Island and why I should move there, hiking, being a morning person, what she was like in college, why you're probably wrong about economics (I was), her newsletter, her favorite class in school and so much more. We also did a round of Just Me Or Everyone, HGFY and answered your questions.

    Dave's Nevadatude, Wendy's Noisy Legs, An Animal Fart Quiz Sep 02, 2021

    Things take a spicy turn when David Huntsberger gets upset over Alison forgetting which way Nevada is pronounced. Wendy Molyneux is here and despite people constantly mispronouncing her last name, she's yet to "pull a Dave." Also, she has cellophane legs. I've been giggling over farts in general, which is a sign of my continued evolution and self-actualization in that I am truly taking pleasure in the small things. We listen to some gassy animals and try to determine who dealt it. Plus Just Me Or Everyone, Slim Slimmon's Adorable Hour, Wendy's singing finger and more.

    Producer/drummer/podcaster Tony Thaxton, AKA "The Bad Boy of Podcasting," is back on my show as the main event when the scheduled guest needs to reschedule. Tony has been going through some stuff and I'd been hoping he would want to discuss it on the show. We do a Tony Wellness Check, discuss Kids Incorporated (recently featured on Tony's podcast Bizarre Albums), Tony's lack of dancing, pandemic anger, his divorce, the specifics of rejoining Motion City Soundtrack, grief during the pandemic, the recent loss of Brian Cain, Christmas songs, podcasting gear, hiking near a bear, dating and so much more.

    Dameshek's Pint Glasses, Alison's Office Crushes, Betsy Sodaro's Anti-Fruit Stance Aug 26, 2021

    Does Dave Dameshek get paid to agree with Daniel instead of Alison? You would be forgiven for thinking so after this episode. Also, his wife won't add to his pint glass collection and he has questions. Meanwhile Alison and Daniel got in a fight over a flyswatter and more. Also, Alison made an egregious error in a meeting earlier and is embarrassed. Betsy Sodaro is here and she's not a fruit head. Also, she explains why she's the last person in the world who should have a child. Plus a new segment which might be called Which is Worse? and Just Me Or Everyone!

    Josh Gondelman has joined us from three hours in the future and he didn't even fall asleep while waiting for the show to start. Probably from all the cocaine he famously snorts. Caissie St. Onge is here as well and she would like to cede her time to Josh and this whole drug situation. Jeff Fox is filling in for Tony and he's fresh from the salt flats where he saw a car go 475 mph. Daniel has a CVS beef and I want to talk about White Lotus. Plus more guessing people's favorite pasta shapes and Just Me Or Everyone.

    LeeAnn Kreischer Aug 16, 2021

    Writer, mother and host of Wife of the Party, LeeAnn Kreischer has always struck me as very wise and self-actualized. Turns out she really is! We talk about her incredibly challenging childhood, her desire to be happy, growing up with a borderline mother, meeting her husband Bert Kreischer, a little something called "Bert Mode," the effect of Bert's success on her marriage, realizing she preferred writing to acting, recurring fights, her years in New York, postpartum depression and rage and so much more. We also answered your questions and did a Just Me Or Everyone involving couch maintenance.

    Helen Hong is here and she hates beans but loves her infant nephew despite his exhausting helplessness. Jackie Johnson is here and she needs advice on how to handle tomato theft. Daniel has a creative solution which leads to me wondering if Italian people really pronounce "sauce" the way Daniel insists they do. Plus Tony Thaxton's toes are occasionally going commando and I am cheating on my eye exams. Plus cotton candy grapes and some glitches in the matrix.

    Jordan Morris is here and he has a favorite bathroom where he'll be taking all promotional photos and meetings. Riki Lindhome is here too and someone recently called her up to apologize for something but she can't remember the offense. Daniel's nailed the Utah accent and I am having trouble letting things go. Also we recall that horrible 90s dating sensation "The Rules," talk what we did or didn't do on the fourth of July, Jordan hopes to remain on a certain invite list, Riki enjoys phone calls, Jordan received a bad Air Bnb rating and more!

    Matt Logelin Jul 05, 2021

    Matt Logelin and his wife Liz were high school sweethearts. They bought a house, she got pregnant with their first child and they planned to live happily ever after. The pregnancy was complicated but their daughter was born and she was healthy. But then 27 hours after giving birth, as she was getting ready to meet the baby she hadn't yet held, Liz died of a pulmonary embolism. This is the subject of Matt's memoir, Two Kisses for Maddy, which has been turned into Fatherhood, the number one Netflix movie at the time this episode airs. Kevin Hart plays Matt. Obama has tweeted about the movie. (His production company helped bring it to the screen.) Matt stopped by the show to talk about the differences between the movie and real life, his mixed feelings about writing the book, the process of turning the book into a movie, grief, the Liz Logelin Foundation, falling in love again (he is married to Bob's Burgers writer, Great North co-creator and ARIYNBF guest Lizzie Molyneux), whether Tony seems violent, the odd life of a successful blogger, guesting on Oprah and Rachael Ray and so much more.

    Mary Katharine Ham Is Back! May 24, 2021

    Mary Katharine Ham—author and political commentator (currently with CNN, formerly with Fox News)—points out on this episode that she usually comes on my show during big life transitions. This time is no exception. The last time she was on she had just gotten engaged and now she's pregnant. As with her previous two pregnancies, she has hyperemesis gravidarum and is VERY sick.

We also answered your questions, and did a round of HGFY and Just Me Or Everyone. Full video at youtube.com/alisonrosen.

    Wendy Molyneux is here and she and her kids drove by a mask protest and had a few choice things to say. Dave Huntsberger is also here as the lone living representative of the clown method. Daniel beams in from a beach to talk about his calendar. I've had an epiphany about feeling like an opportunity has passed you by and also I mix up the lyrics to Jambalaya and Shoofly Pie. Even writing this now I feel they should be the same song. Tony is freshly shorn and Wendy recounts some awful things doctors have said to her regarding weight. I discuss feeling judged as well. We talk about body positivity and its challenges and also do a round of Just Me Or Everyone!

    Ryan Sickler Apr 19, 2021

    Ryan Sickler is a comedian and podcaster who hosts The Honeydew and before that, The Crabfeast. He was last on the show in 2014, a week after his daughter was born. We caught up and he filled us in on the ways life has been unkind to him since then but how he's learned it's all about perspective. We talked about being a single parent, the months before a rare blood disorder was diagnosed where he thought he had cancer, reconciling with his mom, feeling discarded and passed over, the significance of "honeydew," his Patreon and a lot more including something called defecography. Also his favorite pasta shape. Plus Just Me Or Everyone and HGFY and a special appearance of my dog because Ryan wanted to see her. Full video on youtube.com/alisonrosen

    Josh Gondelman's Secret Pasta Divination, Helen Hong's Secret Baby, Who is Q? Apr 15, 2021

    What's your favorite pasta shape and what does it say about you? I didn't plan to host a show exclusively about this but also a little bit about some other stuff but that's what happened! Are you a sturdy spaghetti or a fancy farfalle? And which one of us has been endowed with a divine insight where pasta intuition is concerned? Helen Hong, Josh Gondelman, Jackie Johnson and Tony Thaxton are here to talk noodles. Plus Helen's secret baby, cut crease eyeshadow, Josh's Boston accent, following accounts that annoy you and more!

    Your Calls and The Return of Daniel's Kewl Beanz Apr 12, 2021

    Daniel is back and has to listen to me spout off about how I'm tired of pretending celestial phenomena are mind blowing. A partial solar eclipse? You can barely see it. Is it because, as my parents suggested years ago, I'm a member of the MTV Generation? Also Elliot crashed into my nose and I'm wondering if I should invite some former cult members onto the show. Daniel reveals a kink and offers up another Daniel's Kewl Beanz segment. Plus your calls!

    Jordan Morris's New Bungalow, Alison’s Online Kerfuffle, Niccole Thurman's Polls Apr 08, 2021

    Fan favorite Jordan Morris is back and he's moved to a bungalow! Will his friends still hang out with him now that he's no longer in the center of town? Niccole Thurman joins us for the first time and she's audition-fresh. She's also tired of all of you not returning texts. After basically giving a TED talk on how to let online negativity roll off, I'm consumed by some ridiculous online drama that's still bothering me. Plus we try to guess what foods a not-so-young Tony Thaxton wouldn't eat. And we do a round of Just Me Or Everyone!

    Dave's Noise Complaint, Wendy's Split Banana, Alison's Slinky Work Apr 01, 2021

    Wendy Molyneux and David Huntsberger are back to witness a visual endeavor that I find very, very artistic and profound but which they refuse to be moved by. Dave is a trifle upset about his image having been released acrost the internet and Wendy is taken aback when I threaten to reveal her college email password. Plus what it means when someone buys ten bananas, ice cream trucks, being held up at cleaver point, Derek del Guadio, Yes Please Or Oh Puhleeze, trading places and more.

    Comedian, actor and writer Danny Jolles (Crazy Ex-Girflriend, Ramy) joins the show from the home he'll need to vacate in a few weeks to talk about his refusal to care about "stuff" and the house fire that probably accounts for this attitude, growing up in Virginia, his new special Six Parts which is streaming for free on YouTube, his friendship with Rachel Bloom, a terrible commercial he was in, working at Adafruit, vicious penguins, school grudges and more.

    Resident Canadian Alicia Tobin is back to disparage a popular chocolate brand and Josh Gondelman who has been on a Monday show makes his Thursday show debut. For someone who gets up at 2am every night to walk and feed his pug, he's surprisingly chipper. We get to the bottom of Nanaimo bars, spring cleaning, shoes, my heat pad, the Farmer's Hello, Mandy Patinken and so much more. And we hear a defense of thongs. Plus we do a round of Just Me Or Everyone and Yes Please or Oh Puhleeze.

    Jenna Kim Jones and Allan Moss are back and their family will soon be expanding. How is Allan feeling about Jenna being more emotional? He probably regrets referring to it that way, for one. Chef Jeff is here too and he has advice for Alison about her new obsession: grout cleaning. Tony's a bit grumpy but you wouldn't know. Or would you? Plus an update about Daniel's hair, iTunes Comments of the Week, an email in defense of thongs (what????!?!?!) and Just Me Or Everyone!

    Helen Hong is back and her fingers are itching to dial some numbers! Also, she recently lost her sweet dog in the mountains for hours and it was scary! Plus there's a mouse in her house and it might be a Penelope or it might be a Belinda or it might be gender neutral. Jackie Johnson is here and she's in the midst of a tough decision.

    Alison's Petty, Cranky, Wordy Mood and Your Calls! (Plus a look back!) Dec 28, 2020

    This episode was supposed to include Daniel AND an installment of Daniel's Kewl Beanz but things went sideways so instead you're just getting me and my cranky mood plus some wonderfully honest listener calls. It's a high pressure situation! I am still ruminating over this nanny situation and also I think I had a breakthrough regarding the recurring dream discussed last week. Daniel and I are both overly affected by the moods of everyone around us and I'm still processing this year. I bet you are too. I take a look back at the craziness that was 2020 and give a little glimpse of some guests coming up in 2021. Thank you all for being a bright spot this year!

    Alison's Shower Superstition, Jordan's Bread Bomb, Carlye's Kim K Meeting Oct 22, 2020

    Theme Park journalist Carlye Wisel joins us for the first time and she wants to know why, if Jordan Morris is only eating two slices of bread a week, he isn't choosing what she dubs "event bread." It's a good question but the heart wants what it wants and Jordan wants Dave's Killer Bread. Fuck you, Ezekial. Alison is off her game for the second week straight. Could it be because she ran afoul of her shower superstition? Also, which is better, Disneyland or Disneyworld? And what was the last thing we all did before lockdown? Plus Caryle saw Kim Kardashian up close and it wasn't what we expected.

    Ben Sheehan Oct 19, 2020

    Ben Sheehan is the author of OMG WTF Does the Constitution Actually Say? A Non-Boring Guide to How Our Democracy is Supposed to Work. His premise is simple: the constitution is the user manual for how our government is supposed to run—and it's a government for the people by the people meaning we're the ones who are supposed to be operating it—and yet most of us don't even know what's in this document. He’s a former producer for Funny Or Die, the Hollywood Reporter named him one of entertainment's 35 Rising Executives Under 35 and perhaps most importantly to listeners of this show, he’s engaged to be married to frequent guest Jackie Johnson. We talked about his childhood in DC and Bethesda, MD, his relationship with his brother, civics versus history, hustling, comedy, music, whether Trump can steal the election and so much more. Plus we took your questions. Full video available on http://youtube.com/alisonrosen

    Melissa Gilbert Aug 03, 2020

    Actor, writer and producer Melissa Gilbert joins this episode of Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend. Melissa is probably best known for her work on Little House on the Prairie where she played Laura Ingalls Wilder from 1974 to 1984. She also appeared in The Diary of Anne Frank and The Miracle Worker and went on to do voice work and musical theater. She received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, was president of SAG for four years and competed on Dancing with the Stars. She's written three books: a memoir, a cookbook and a children's book and even run for Congress. Now she has a production company with her husband Timothy Busfield and Jeff Daniels and they've just released their first feature, Guest Artist. Melissa and I talked about all of this, her quarantine chickens, plastic surgery, wanting to change the SAG culture, family secrets, her father's death, needing to live in reality, the podcast she's started with her husband Timothy Busfield and so much more. We also answered your questions.

    Sarah Ellis Jul 20, 2020

    Sarah Ellis suffered a spinal cord injury at the beginning of the year and has been re-learning how to walk in the months since. But her story gets crazier than that. After emergency surgery to preserve mobility and a number of days in the hospital she was transferred to a rehab facility where the nurses noticed she seemed short of breath. An ultrasound revealed 15 blood clots in her legs and lungs—a rare side effect from the common blood thinner she'd been put on. She nearly died. After another emergency surgery to remove the clots she spent more time in the hospital and then it was back to the live-in rehab facility. I've been following her journey on social media and wondered how she manages to maintain such a seemingly positive attitude. We talked about all this, her experiences as an Apple Genius, IVF, dogs, musical theater and more.

    Adrienne Brodeur Is Done with Secrets Nov 25, 2019

    When she was 14, Adrienne Brodeur was awakened in the middle of the night by her beloved mother who confessed that a family friend had just kissed her. She wanted to pursue a romance with this man and needed young Adrienne's help in keeping it a secret. Adrienne felt special and important—her mother had chosen her to be her confidante. Thus began a years long situation that affected every aspect of Adrienne's life and which she recounts and untangles in Wild Game: My Mother, Her Lover, and Me. We also talk about Aspen Words, parenting, memoir versus reality, Swatches, myths, cooking, dementia, career paths, creating Zoetrope with Francis Ford Coppola and so much more.

    Mary Katharine Ham Finds Love Again Oct 28, 2019

    Four years ago political pundit Mary Katharine Ham's personal tragedy was all over the news when her husband Jake Brewer died suddenly in a cycling accident. Theirs had been a picture perfect romance that read like a movie—he was former Obama staffer, she was a conservative columnist and pundit appearing regularly on Fox News (she's now employed by CNN). They had one daughter and she was seven months pregnant with their second daughter at the time of the accident. As Mary Katharine recounts here, she figured she'd probably not date again, at least not for awhile. And then a couple years later she found herself opening her heart again to a mysterious man who has no social media presence but actually exists (I met him myself). We recorded this episode the night following her surprise engagement. We also talk about masculinity, sexual harassment, hoarding, anxiety, the LadyBrains podcast, being a decisive person and so much more.

    Jordan Morris doesn't frost his tips but you'd certainly be forgiven for thinking so. You might not be forgiven for asking him though, which starts a conversation about men and shame around primping.

Probably something funny, relevant and important. Lemme check the notes. Oh yes! We also talked about religion, the pressure to be religious in our hometowns with the exception of Daniel, and Daniel and my new neighbors who are very intriguing.

Turns out Jeff knows and his info is courtesy of a very non-punk rock job he once had but not as non-punk rock as another job he had cleaning up poop at an animal research lab. And so much more!
