    #64 I Had A Party Friend with Tanya Mansfield

    #64 I Had A Party Friend with Tanya Mansfield

    This week we welcome comedian Tanya Mansfield. We were supposed to talk about her experiences being the middle child, but quickly segued into talking about that one friend, we all had one -- they're older, they're reckless, the red flags are plentiful and waving but we couldn't seem to see them at the time. Tanya had a party friend, and we KNOW she's not alone. This story has everything a teenager could want: an RV, UV vodka, cheetah print bikini tops and more.

    #63 I Was Home During A Robbery With Ben Gorodetsky

    #63 I Was Home During A Robbery With Ben Gorodetsky

    Even been home alone during a robbery? Comedian, writer and this week's guest Ben Gorodetsky has. As an 11 year old with temporarily unsupervised internet access, it should have been every boy's dream evening. But unfortunately for Ben things took a turn. From excellent stranger danger boundary setting (DON'T OPEN THE DOOR WHEN A STRANGER KNOCKS!) to head smacking police blunders (GO TO THE RIGHT HOUSE FOR THE LOVE OF PETE) to the wild tale of Ben and his family surviving a SECOND home invasion years later, this episode is NOT one to miss.

    #62 I Grew Up Evangelical with Dave Apkarian

    #62 I Grew Up Evangelical with Dave Apkarian

    This week we're joined by comedian Dave Apkarian. Growing up in an Evangelical church, Dave took what he saw around him and used it to his advantage - like thinking if the spirit of the Lord entered him, a cute girl would TOTALLY be into him. Surprisingly it didn't work. Outside of church Dave and his brother stayed busy doing kid stuff like watching Terminator and helping their dad with laborious farm work including an insane story about a pig that you absolutely don't want to miss.

Real Conversations and Real Funny Conversations

It was such a pleasure to be a part of the show. Katie and Laura host a very even-handed and well-paced show. Sometimes pods can feel heavy handed when there’s a theme but these don’t feel forced. Guests bring in a starting pointing and the chat goes from there. Great stuff.

You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, you’ll laugh

Is it possible to reminisce affectionately for the cringe-worthy mistakes of our middle and high school years? Laura, Katie, and a parade of guests examine our collective teenage missteps with warm-hearted humor and no judgment.

Talented Storytellers
