11. ."Griefstrike!" With Jason Roeder

Grieving is a lonely experience. Many of us who have been through it wish there was a handbook to lead us through the experience. When comedy writer Jason Roeder lost his mom, he decided to write the guidebook that he wanted to read. This episode of Terrible Reading Club is a chat with Jason about his book Griefstrike!, a humorous guide to grief.  Jason Roeder is comedy writer, and he’s a former senior writer and editor of The Onion.

Om Podcasten

The Terrible Reading Club is a podcast about great books for truly terrible times. Host Nora McInerny knows a thing or two about this kind of literature, because she's written several books herself about tough subjects like grief and loss and mental health (and moving forward in the face of it all). Each episode centers a book that deals with Hard Stuff and features an interview with the author about their work. And the best part about this reading club? You don't need to read the book ahead of time! For book discussion guides and a community of Terrible bookworms just like you, join The Terrible Reading Club on Substack!
