Grieving is a lonely experience. Many of us who have been through it wish there was a handbook to lead us through the experience. When comedy writer Jason Roeder lost his mom, he decided to write the guidebook that he wanted to read. This episode of Terrible Reading Club is a chat with Jason about his book Griefstrike!, a humorous guide to grief. 

Jason Roeder is comedy writer, and is the former senior writer and editor of The Onion.

Since 2022, we’ve been an independent production in a sea of big fish with big budgets…and we want to keep it this way.
