This week on Story & Craft, we launch our debut episode with one of the funniest guys I know.  Craig Shoemaker is a comedian, actor, writer, producer, author and entrepreneur.  He’s known by many as “The Lovemaster”, and has garnered a large following through his decades as a touring act, as well as through his specials on Comedy Central, Showtime, Netflix and Amazon Prime.  He has received high praise and recognition throughout his career, including a couple of Emmys and an American Comedy Award.  He’s now bringing the funny to offer up laughter as medicine.  We celebrate the lives of Bob Saget and Louie Anderson, chat about the healing powers of “the funny”...and much more!
