My Dad Complains to Me about His Sex Life

Bio: Career coach by day and a stand-up comic by night, Donna Shannon appears in and produces showcases throughout Colorado through Coyote Visions Productions. Her podcast, Donna Shannon’s Coyote Tales, highlights her personal stories and observations on the ridiculousness of life. Find all her links at linktr.ee/donnashannon

My Grandpa Was a Nudist
In what may be our strangest story yet, April Norris talks about her Grandpa Dick, who left his wife and kids to live as a nudist with a man in Florida. April visited her booze-loving grandpa for the first (and last) time during a Spring Break she’ll never forget.
You won’t believe the crazy hijinks that occurred on this wacky adventure, from Grandpa Dick accusing April of trying to kill him, to Dick pointing a gun at April’s boyfriend. April also reminisces about her “dirty birdy grandma” and her Playgirl collection.
Bio: April created a podcast called, Of Course…They Make Me Crazy! She started it while on furlough from work because of Covid. The podcast circles around mental health. But, with a twist. It’s for those of you living with someone suffering with a mental illness.
April started writing a book about the ups and downs of living with a mom who was bipolar. The book started to develop into side stories about her mom’s family. They are a cast of crazy characters. While writing it, she decided to turn it into a podcast.
April is no stranger to writing and talking. She was a television news reporter, photographer, and anchor for more than 12 years.
