Out of the Blue-ness with Wendy Liebman (Part 1)

Wendy Liebman returns to help kick off season two of Out Of The Blue, and the conversation moves from punchlines to lifelines – how care, coincidence, and commitment can rewire a creative life.Wendy opens up about a sudden loss that pulled a community closer, reflecting on how grief rearranges our priorities and reconnects us to people who speak our language. We also wander through Boston comedy roots, the odd alchemy of stage presence making you “taller,” and the perspective that comes from seeing peers skyrocket while choosing to love where you’re standing.From there, we explore minimalism as intention rather than austerity – "love people, use things" – and how mortality sharpens focus on what truly matters. Creativity threads it all together: Stephen King’s fossil metaphor and Michelangelo’s chisel remind us that art is often about uncovering what’s already there.Support the showOut Of The Blue:Exclusive content: outoftheblue-thepodcast.org/blog
