Episode 102: Angela Nissel: Laughing in the face of death

Angela Nissel has lived several lives: co-founder of OkayPlayer with Questlove, author of The Broke Diaries, longtime TV writer and executive producer on Scrubs, Ginny & Georgia, Mixed-ish, and The Last O.G. We talk about being pushed out of the community she built, the complicated relationship with her mother that shaped her latest book Good Grief, Pass the Bread, Mom's Dead, caretaking her mom through the final month of her life, and how she fell in love with a WWE Hall of Famer through a dog-fostering account on Twitter. This one covers grief, race, comedy writers' rooms, and the strange humor that shows up in the hardest moments.
