Comedian Davidson Boswell came on the podcast and told me about a different kind of death: mourning the memory of who his brother was before his mental decline, learning to live with who he is now and the compounding effects it’s had on his family, how the American healthcare systems’ failures and online echo chambers can fuel unchecked radicalization, and finding space to talk about these kind of things.

I had a great time talking with comedian Chris Maddock about the lives and deaths of his parents, great Minneapolis comedians that passed too soon, keeping friends’ memories alive by telling their old jokes, what happens after you die, and a couple other things too.
