I Want to Know What Every Single Person Thinks of Me at All Times with Lucia Whalen

This Is Your Afterlife

Lucia Whalen has a killer joke that combines environmental disaster with infertility, and you should know that's the sort of screaming into the abyss I encourage on This Is Your Afterlife. She tells me about her upbringing among hippies devoted to Vedic astrology, the bad mushroom trip that got her sober, and her craving for words of affirmation, even in death.

Speaking of fertility, abortion is healthcare. Here is the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' statement to that effect I read in the show's intro. And here is a list of abortion funds in every U.S. state for you to donate to fight the Supreme Court (possibly, likely) overturning Roe v. Wade: bit.ly/abortionfundslist.
