About this episode
Comedian Sara Schaefer is back to talk about her upcoming memoir and how the process of revisiting old diaries allowed her to see herself more clearly. We talk about the traumatic turning point in her childhood when her father admitted to criminal activity, her relationship with religion, concerns that entertainment was a selfish pursuit, being a rule follower, the experience of having a show on MTV (Nikki and Sara Live), working with Nikki Glaser, pitching shows, feeling understood by her boyfriend and the need to feel understood, how free speech and the #MeToo movement intersect in comedy, her podcast Loner at Coyowolf Creek, problems with social media, college shows and so much more.
