The prolonged isolation of COVID has taught me that I really have some incredible friends: novelists, memoirists, poets, musicians, songwriters, comedians, painters and so on. Also, I am terrible at keeping in touch with them. These conversations will be part catch-up with my friends (some of whom I haven’t spoken to in years) about our addictions and/or sobriety, our mental health struggles, and the challenges of the creative life. And these will be in-depth explorations of their work, how they work, what inspires them, and what’s coming next. Yes, I’m a writer and musician, but I’m a fan first. These are artists and people I love, and it’s my honor to share them with you.

Born in the rust belt, reared in the bible belt, Kristen Becker believes in Good Deeds and Dirty Jokes. Her comedy dances gingerly back and forth between drunken redneck and woke women studies major as she playfully explores the good and bad of both sides of the aisle, leaving you left to wonder whether we really are that different, after all. A twenty year veteran of stand up comedy, she continues to skewer the status quo with her salty social commentary. Last year the Not -for Profit she founded, Summer of Sass, INC received a $3.7M donation, allowing her to secure a safe harbor for future LGBTQ+humans.
Becker has worked with everyone from underground comedy legend Doug Stanhope, punk preacher Jay Bakker (yes, Jim and Tammy Faye were his parents) and Righteous Babe Ani DiFranco. Becker was featured on the “Welcome to Provincetown” podcast, named a top ten podcast of 2022 by The NY Times .
