Eleanore Ryan, stand up comic and sober activist
In this interview with stand up comedian and sober activist, Eleanore Ryan, talks to 3 of the co-hosts about her comedy, recovery and spirituality. This episode comes with a heavy content warning about discussions of sexually explicit nature as well as about drug use and recovery and we also talk about Eleanore’s dwarfism and disability in very candid ways. This is also a conversation where we find a lot of common ground and catharsis with Christianity and we hope our listeners will find humor and solace in Eleanore’s words like we have.

For our Samhain episode for this year, we interviewed Angela, Death Midwife and founder of Journey Home Death Care about perceptions of death and how to be advocates for our own death.
