TALK SHOW
The Bitch Seat: Therapy For Your Misspent Youth
In this interview-style, live talk show and podcast, featured on This American Life and beloved on both coasts, host Lyssa Mandel (& co-host/partner Phil Casale) invites guests to present poignant/painful creations from their adolescence on stage (poetry, drawings, songs, sketches, videos...Wicca boxes...) and follows with engaging questions that cut to the heart of how all our childhood pain is the same. And it's funny. Think of it as Judy Blume meets Dr. Phil. Raucous laughter and redemption ensue. Bar in the theater and free Gushers to chase down the pubescent demons.
