Raphael Bob-Waksberg has a way of conjuring up big feelings, sometimes even when you’re least expecting it. His acclaimed animated series “BoJack Horseman” (about an anthropomorphic horse who happens to be a washed up sitcom actor trying to make his comeback in Hollywood) was an emotional gut punch. Now, Raphael is back with a new Netflix series, “Long Story Short,” which is about the joys and losses of the Schwoopers — a Jewish family made up of three very different siblings. The story follows the family through their joys, wins and losses, jumping back and forth in time to reveal how their past shapes their present. Raphael joins guest host Gill Deacon to talk about the new show, why laughing through pain doesn’t cheapen it, and how he went from doing theatre to making adult animation.
