Episode 9 - The One With Dana Gould's Fictional Father
7/1/202655 min
Holly can’t be the only one who has processed their family secrets and trauma by creating art. So what can she learn from someone else who has been through this before? Holly chats with Simpsons writer and creator of Stan Against Evil, Dan Gould, to learn about navigating family reactions, blending horror and comedy, and what it feels like to put your life on such a public stage.

And if you've been listening to the podcast, then you know UCB holds a very special place in my heart to do our first ever live show. The show is called The Fucked Up Family Hour, and it's a night of stand-up comedy about generational trauma, family secrets, and the people we love who really fucking screwed us up.
