Jamie Loftus

By Alison Rosen on August 1, 2021 in podcast, Uncategorized

Comic, writer, podcast host and artist Jamie Loftus (My Year in Mensa, Lolita Podcast, Aack Cast, Bechdel Cast) joins us to talk about how stunt journalism led to finding her niche as a podcaster, the decision to switch from writing about her experience as a “dumb slut” who infiltrated Mensa to releasing it as a show, making the Lolita Podcast during the pandemic, wanting to do something lighter for her next project which was Aack Cast where she reconsiders Cathy comics, feminism, scoliosis, eating dog food, butt chugging milk, Dunkin Donuts specialty items, Judy Blume’s Deenie, hot dogs and so much more. We also took your questions.

Matt Logelin

By Alison Rosen on July 4, 2021 in podcast, Uncategorized

Matt Logelin and his wife Liz were high school sweethearts. They bought a house, she got pregnant with their first child and they planned to live happily ever after. The pregnancy was complicated but their daughter was born and she was healthy. But then 27 hours after giving birth, as she was getting ready to meet the baby she hadn’t yet held, Liz died of a pulmonary embolism. This is the subject of Matt’s memoir, Two Kisses for Maddy, which has been turned into Fatherhood, the number one Netflix movie at the time this episode airs. Kevin Hart plays Matt. Obama has tweeted about the movie. (His production company helped bring it to the screen.) Matt stopped by the show to talk about the differences between the movie and real life, his mixed feelings about writing the book, the process of turning the book into a movie, grief, the Liz Logelin Foundation, falling in love again (he is married to Bob’s Burgers writer, Great North co-creator and ARIYNBF guest Lizzie Molyneux), whether Tony seems violent, the odd life of a successful blogger, guesting on Oprah and Rachael Ray and so much more.
