What an honor to have such a fascinating and remarkable guest on this week! Nissim Black is an African American rapper from Seattle who converted to Orthodox Judaism, moved to Jerusalem, took a deep dive into the Torah and Jewish life (which includes having a gaggle of delightful offspring) and is still making music! We talk about everything. Literally. What an inspiring and interesting individual, don't miss this ep!!

I decided to let Rae Lynn take a break and interview old friend and brilliant playwright Dan O'Brien as myself. An esteemed playwright and poet, Dan's recent work includes "Our Cancers" which revolves around the fact that Dan got diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer RIGHT after his wife got over Breast Cancer. Dan and I talk about art and trauma, toxic positivity, magical thinking, support systems, faking power point and how I used to print out every email I got and file it when I was a young clueless temp.

I just got back from Paris people. Good stuff.
