We're Dying Here
We're Dying Here
Jane Baker & Micah Sherman
Is it the finality? Is it final? Is it the unknown? Is it the dread? What the fuck is it about dying and death that consumes Jane with angst and Micah with amusement? Everyone in the history of the world had done it and yet, secretly, Jane thinks she might be able to avoid this all together by outthinking death. Micah says no. So what is this podcast? Just a stroll through the fears of Jane until Micah can calm her the hell down. Is this a comedy? A drama? A tragedy? Yes to all.
