One of my biggest dreams has been to be on RIsk!
It’s the storytelling show where people tell true stories they never thought they’d dare to share. I have loved listening to the podcast version of the show, hearing stars like Kumail Nanjiani, Patton Oswalt, Samantha Bee, Sarah Silverman, Marc Maron and more comedy heroes than I can name… and also kidnapping victims, homeless sex workers, people in prison and other amazing people who share the deepest, most emotional moments of their lives to a nonjudgmental, empathetic, caring audience. This show has made me nearly fall off my bike laughing, and sob uncontrollably on the bus.
I am so thrilled NOT ONLY that my dream has come true that it happened on the week that the Risk! book was launched and is poised to become a NY Times bestseller, the week that they received a glowing writeup in the Wall Street Journal, and shortly after it was excerpted on This American Life. I AM SO EXCITED!
