Scott Marder once wore a helmet cam to high school and recorded a &quot;day in the life&quot; of a student. It was mostly kids giving him the finger. Those of us who were friends with Scott knew back then that he was uniquely quirky and absolutely hysterical, so it really has come as no surprise to us that Scott has gone on to become the success he is today, working on some of the craziest shows you love. From Family Guy to Bojack Horseman to It&apos;s Alway Sunny in Philadelphia, The Mick, and, currently, Rick and Morty.  Scott is one of the hardest working men in showbiz, and it was my great honor to sit down with my dear friend and take a walk through his amazing accomplishments. <a rel="payment" href="http://patreon.com/lightersidepodcast">Support the show</a> (http://patreon.com/lightersidepodcast)

Living with Lupus - Amanda Clarfield Newell

It started as a weight loss podcast, which quickly became a mental health podcast, which somehow became a pandemic podcast.  Jay, your host  (anxiety/depression/OCD/childhood trauma/family addiction)  lost 185 lbs after having bariatric surgery.  Guests have ranged from actor Ken Marino to a woman you have never heard of who lost 250 lbs, to a recovering addict, to essential workers during COVID-19. In 2020, the show became daily and ran for 100 episodes in 100 days. The culmination of everything The Lighter Side strove to be, Jay created an oral history of the pandemic, as told through the voices of the people who lived through it. There's something for everyone on the Lighter Side.
