- Ep. 113 - Comedian Jenn Welch
In this episode I interview comedian and fellow podcaster Jenn Welch! After the death of her father, Jenn found her own ways of coping by being open and creative about her loss. We talk about her Dead Dad Tinder account, and the impact it can have when we take ownership of our own issues. We also talk about how great it is to have a community that welcomes expression, even when it's not funny.

Hello to 2021! What a crazy year it has been for all of us. In addition to the pandemic fatigue we are all collectively feeling, life and death continue to go on.

13 min - Ep 111 - Luciana Rossi
Huzzah! In this episode, I finally sat down for a full hour with my good friend Luciana Rossi! A registered nurse, and a fellow bereaved sibling, Luci and I met over a decade ago at The Compassionate Friends (TCF) national conference. Luci lost her brother Doug when she was a baby, and her other brother Tony in 2009. She has become a much needed voice in the bereavement community, a leader in the TCF world, and a trusted friend and confidant to me over the years. I am very honored to have her in my life!

1 hr 9 min - Ep 110 - Comedian Ronny Pascale
In this episode, I interview comedian and improv performer Ronny Pasquale! It's been 15 years since Ronny's mother died at the age of 39, when Ronny himself was just 20. He has since managed to combine parts of his pain with his love of dead-mother jokes as a way to cope with the difficult parts of life without her.
We talk about how important being about to have tough conversations can be, as well as just how tough it can be to write jokes about topics the audience might be trying NOT to think about.

I don't know who NEEDS to hear this episode right now, but I hope it's a lot! Here's my interview with comedian Myq Kaplan, who manages to create humor out of the intersection of wordplay and philosophy. Enjoy an in depth discussion about the ways that human nature has us alternately hide/express our true feelings, and the power of truly connecting with other humans.

In this episode, I sat down to talk with Ken Levy and Sam Feldman, two of the founders of The National Widowers Organization.

About Where's The Grief?
From the publisher's feed
Where's the Grief is a weekly podcast about loss and grief in everyday life that somehow manages to be consistently funny, surprisingly insightful and easily absorbed. It's a show that isn't afraid to face some of the most difficult questions of what it ultimately means to be human, while finding the ever-present comedy in our day-to-day truths, and some of the things we all fear.
In each episode, host Jordon Ferber interviews comedians, actors, writers, and others who have experienced tragic loss—not just of loved ones, but of jobs, homes, security and familiarity—and are making their way through to the other side. Ferber himself is no stranger to grief, having lost his younger brother to a car accident at the age of 21. Drawing on his own experience, as well as his 20+ years of work as a standup comedian in NYC—which can be tragic, in and of itself—Ferber brings insight, pathos and humor to his role as host. All the while, exhibiting camaraderie with his guests, putting them at ease and making the show surprisingly enjoyable for listeners.
