Eric talks about growing up in Minnesota, his parents’ divorce, his sister’s death, surviving stage-four cancer, and how the pandemic affected him in a completely different way. Cancer still allowed him to get onstage

2026/09/14

Quite honestly, this session with Brooklyn based comedian, Joe Palana, is one of the most emotionally powerful that I have done. Joe grew up with a younger cousin that has both Down syndrome and autism. Joe formed a deep bond with him that as it turns out, has directed his life in ways Joe couldn’t have expected as a child. The way Joe articulates his relationship with his cousin really helped me understand that specific relationship, but more broadly, helped me imagine what it might be like to be

2026/08/05

Katerra Borkowski is an amazingly talented and hardworking comedian,writer and improviser. Katerra’s background is an outlier in the comedy community: she was brought up in foster homes and then eventually got adopted by a white family (she's black) in high school. Resilience people! This is what resilience looks like! I do think that Katerra has some major internal resources: brains and motivation. She also had some encouragement even though her father committed suicide when she was an infant and

Will is an incredible artist, writer, comedian, cartoonist, etc. I've gotten to know him a little bit from curating his show, Rooftopolopis at the Dog House Gallery, and seeing him perform comedy. Two things that struck me about Will —to me, he presents as a heteronormative male, albeit, an unusually multifaceted one. I found out that he had an only fans account and that he was queer. One thing I did not know about Will Kiley until I did research on him was that he had an older brother that

You might not guess it if you met her in person, but as she says, she is still very much in recovery. In this session, we reflect on Olive’s experience, the outpouring of love and support she received, and the remarkable benefit organized and held for her at by Kevin McDonald of Kids in the Hall at The Bell House, a week before this conversation.

Tom has been on this show several times. In this session we examine Tom's personal transition from being a workaholic radio station director, living in Bushwick to a more balanced, "emotionally healthy" (Dr. Lisa's judgement!!) adult with a job and a partner living in Washington Heights. Tom was station director from 2015—2021 when he transferred the main responsibilities and Station Director Title to Shane Gasteyer. Shane (check out the episode before this one #396!) has also done a fabulous job

Shane has been part of the station since 2016, so I've known him a long time now. This is the first time Shane agreed to come on my show—we talk about that. We also discuss his childhood with his single mom, boarding school and in my Dr. Lisa opinion, the POSITIVE changes being a father of a 5 year old girl and 10 month old boy, along with his RFB experience and becoming the station director have had on him.Shane has a great radio show "Everybody Plays the Fool" Hosted by Shane LIVE every Monday

Laura Parnes is an extremely accomplished filmmaker and artist . (Scroll down for bio—impressive!!) One of the themes in Laura Parnes's work is female adolescence. Here's a quote from an interview with her in ⁠FEMEXFILM Archive⁠: "A really big focus of the work is the romantic vision of a teen peering in on a culture that they haven’t personally participated in and how this holds potential for criticality. But, it’s really tempered by a desire to gain status, power, and agency. "Bearing that in

And so it's something that I find amusing, I guess I could say, where like just trying to find the intersections between race, gender and class and how those play out in our daily, not just in my upbringing, but in our day to day lives and how that affects it.” You’ll also hear how Alvaro, a good-looking young man, likes the ladies—and I’m
