Finding Forty

Liz and Ashton C. Clarke, a brilliant storyteller and wonderful person whose work can be found on the Risk podcast, discuss cultivating relationships with family members and dealing with loss, as well as the drive to get more personal with storytelling.

Myq and Liz go way back, specifically to January 7, 2016. On April 22, 2020 they recorded this episode and on June 23, 2020 it is being released. (Dates are important to Liz and Myq’s friendship.)

Liz and Amanda nerd out about COMEDY and whether starting a family is possible while pursuing a career in it. Amanda Cohen has 15 years in comedy...not in a row. She placed Top 16 in the 2019 World Series of comedy, and Top 6 in the 2019 San Diego Comedy Contest. She was also a semi-finalist in the 2020 World Series of Comedy Las Vegas Satellite. She’s based in LA and plays clubs and events all over the country.

In this episode Liz and her guest, Jeff Greenspan have an honest conversation about lying. They talk about the good and the bad parts of the NYC comedy scene and embarking on new adventures later in life. Both Liz and Jeff started doing comedy after having successful careers in not comedy. The talk openly and honestly about how this choice effects their lives and how they see the future.
