Tragedy Minus Time Equals Posting

Abortion stories flooding my timeline got me thinking about how we mine our most intense experiences for art, or worse, content. As a comedian with a couple one-man shows about my coma, it's a familiar process! Why do we do this? What are we looking for? Do we need to share at all? How can we know what's right for us? Comedian and frequent This Is Your Afterlife guest Claire Favret joins me as a sidekick to sort this all out, once and for all, absolutely no more follow up required, ever, we did it, we're the ones.Content warning: mansplaining, moms, abortion, social media philosophizing, seeking comfort and connection, unrealistic expectations, boundaries.If you think this show's worth the cost of a coffee or a meal a month, subscribe for $5 or $15 at patreon.com/davemaher.
