A typical arc for stories on this podcast is that things are bad, very bad. And then, they’re ... not great, but are at least a little better. For author and comedian Samantha Irby, life is all good and all bad all at the same time. Because there are SO MANY things to laugh about when life is awful and your body is turning on you. There are also things to complain about when you’re deeply in love with a person who treats you like an angel.
