In this #amwriting podcast Write Big session, Jennie Nash talks with author Mary Laura Philpott about the surprising choice she made after her acclaimed book Bomb Shelter—to stop writing on purpose. Mary Laura shares how, after pouring everything into that project, her gut told her she didn't need to rush into another, despite the pressure of “what's next?” from the industry and readers. This conversation reframes writing big not as chasing ambition, but as honoring your gut and giving your whole heart to whatever season you're in—even if that means not writing at all.TRANSCRIPT BELOW!THINGS MENTIONED IN THIS PODCAST:* Mary Laura Philpott's website* Bomb Shelter* The New York Times ReviewSPONSORSHIP MESSAGEHey, it's Jenny Nash, and if you've been writing a new book through the month of November and wondering if it's any good, this might be the perfect time to work with an Author Accelerator certified book coach to get a professional gut check.

This is a Write Big Session, where I'm bringing you short episodes about the mindset shifts that help you stop playing small and write like it matters. Today, I'm talking to Mary Laura Philpott about the idea of trusting your gut. This is a critical component to writing big, and I asked Mary Laura to come speak to us because a very interesting thing happened to her after the publication of her second book, Bomb Shelter: Love, Time, and Other Explosives. This book is so good. It's a book about being a parent and a daughter and a spouse and a person in the world. And what happened was that she stopped writing—on purpose. Her gut told her, “I'm done now.” And it struck me that if we could understand what makes a successful writer choose not to write; maybe we could understand better what makes us each choose to write big. So welcome, Mary Laura.Mary Laura PhilpottHello, friend. Thanks for having me.Jennie NashAh, I'm so excited to have this conversation. I've been wanting to have it for a very long time.Mary Laura PhilpottOh, good.Jennie NashSo thanks for joining us. This is maybe your second, third, fourth time on the Hashtag AmWriting Podcast—you're a fan favorite. So welcome back. To set this conversation up, I'm going to read a little snippet from The New York Times review of Bomb Shelter, which was written by Judith Warner, and in which she called your book a “master work.” I'm going to read the end of her review, because it really sets up this question that we're going to be talking about.So she writes: “I want to say something negative about this book. To be this positive is, I fear, to sound like a nitwit. So to nitpick—there's some unevenness to the quality of the sentences in the final chapter—but there's no fun in pointing that out. Philpott already knows. I'm telling this story now in present tense. She writes, ‘I'm still in it, not yet able to shape it from the future's perspective. The story is still being written, and that's all right. The only problem is having to wait to read what comes next.'”So—you wrote this book, which was your second book…Mary Laura PhilpottSecond book of this type—yes, kind of second, second memoir.Jennie NashSecond book of this type. And you get this beyond rave review in The New York Times by this luminary reviewer, in which she says, “I can't wait to see what you write next.” And here we sit some years later, in which the answer is—there is nothing next. So can you talk about that? Can you talk about how you—first of all, what that feels like?Mary Laura PhilpottYeah, it's—I mean, you know this feeling of before a book is even on shelves, people are already asking, “So what's next? Like, what are you working on?” You know? And then you go on tour, and every question everywhere is, “So what are you working on now?” There's this relentless, kind of—this churning wheel of productivity behind it all. And so I'm used to that, and I was used to that feeling of, okay, the book is out, people are talking about it, but I need to be working on something next, because that's always been how it is. But I was tired. That was a really—I love that review so much, and I love the way this book was received—but it was a really emotional book to write, and it was a really emotional book to tour with and go out and talk about for several weeks on end. And so when I came back home, I was like, you know, I get to decide how this little hamster wheel of productivity goes—and I have decided I need a break, and I'm going to focus on, you know—I had, like, one or two years left with my kids at home before they left the nest. I was like, I'm just going to be at home. I'm going to focus inward. I'm just going to be kind of living life on my own terms. And I did that for about a year—and then another year—and now it's been... let's see... here we are in 2025... It's been three years since that book came out. I have not written another book, and I have never been so calm about not being in the middle of writing another book. It just feels like I don't have something I urgently need to say.Jennie NashYeah.Mary Laura PhilpottAnd I also feel—there's something rebellious in the beginning about saying, “I'm not going to do it.” But once the rebellion kind of burns off and you realize, actually, I don't owe anyone anything—like, I'm not under contract for another book. I had the sort of miraculous timing of my editor for Bomb Shelter and for I Miss You When I Blink retiring right after Bomb Shelter came out, so I don't even have an editor breathing down my neck going, “Come on, what's your next thing?” So I've been experimenting with saying I'm retired. When people ask me, like, “What are you working on?” I say, “I might be retired. I don't know if I am. It might be temporary. It might be—this might be like Ross and Rachel: are we on a break, or are we broken up? I don't know.” But I am so calm and happy with the decision not to be getting up every day and sitting at my desk. It's like a cord has been cut in me—and I don't feel any guilt about it.Jennie NashSo you said you feel that you don't have anything to say. When you started these books and your other books and projects, did you feel that?Mary Laura PhilpottAlways! Yes. Like, I—for myself and for other people—like, I need to get this on paper. There's that therapeutic part of writing: I need to get this on paper and organize it so that I can understand what it is I think. That's not enough of a reason to go through the misery of publishing a book, but it's something. And then there's the other part—where you, or for me, where once I figure out what it is that I'm thinking as I'm putting it on paper, I realize there are other people who may feel this way, and translating it into words is a gift. And it's something that I want to be able to do for readers, and I want to enter into that two-way conversation with my words and my readers. And it's not that I don't have anything interesting to talk about right now—it's just that I don't have anything keeping me up at night, begging to be translated and, therefore, you know, urging me to the page. I've started and stopped little—not books, but like other little projects here and there—where I'm like, oh, maybe I want to play around with this idea. And then I put them down, and I just feel... it's honestly the first time in my life I have felt no guilt about not working on the thing that everyone thinks I should be working on. And it's so weird because other people seem to have really strong feelings about it.Jennie NashI was going to say, what are people's reactions when you say, “I might be retired”?Mary Laura PhilpottThe other day—okay, so I'm going to tell you about this event I went to the other day. It was a book event for a woman who we all know, who's pretty well known, and this is her—I don't know—fourth or fifth or sixth book and it's very much anticipated by its readers. And she's exactly my age—she's 51—and when I went to this event, I ran into a lot of other book people who I know, and of course, the first question everyone asks: “What are you working on?” So I decided to test out my line, and I would say, “I think I might be retired.” The vehemence with which people go, “No, you're not! Like, shut up!”—I got told “Shut up” so many times. Like, what? Why? Why do people have this strong reaction? But then—and then, you know, I'm such a people pleaser that if enough people say, “Shut up. No, you're not,” I start to question myself. I'm like, maybe I should try? I don't know. I don't want to disappoint everybody. But then we sat down for the discussion part of this event, and someone in the audience asked this fellow writer, “Where do you want to be in ten years? Look ahead ten years and tell us what you see.” And she said, “In ten years, I will be in my early sixties, and I think by then I'd like to hang it up and live life just for me.” And I felt so viscerally and instantly—oh, no, I do not want to wait ten years. I wanted to yell out, “You don't have to wait till then!” But, you know, to each her own—and she may have ten years more of wanting to be out and about and hustling and doing this.Jennie NashYeah, yeah. So it sounds like you wouldn't characterize what you're feeling as burnout. It's not—it's not like, “Oh, I burned out, and I'll get back to it someday.” It feels really as if you arrived at a different place.Mary Laura PhilpottIt feels like—yes, it feels more like closure than like burnout. And that has changed. That feeling has changed over the last two to three years. In the beginning, it did feel like burnout—like, when I came home from that book tour, I was wrung out. I mean, I was thrilled, it was—it was amazing—but I was tired. And I thought—I remember you and I talking about this and saying, “You know what? I've just—I left it all on the field. I'm exhausted, and I need to take a year-long nap.” And then, over time, it became more of an “Okay, I'm not burned out. I actually feel fine. I'm just taking a break.” And I've talked to—you and I have a good friend in common, Laura Vanderkam, who writes a lot about productivity, and she and I had a conversation once where I was like, “I think what this is, is a break. Just—I'm going to take a pause, and I'll decide when I'm done pausing. When I'm done pausing.” And that may be what it is. I do tend to live life kind of cyclically, so I might cycle back into “Now I want to do this,” or “Now I've written that.” But right now it feels like this really peaceful closure. And even if I do write something again—which, come on, I mean, I probably will at some point—the part that feels closed is the hustle part. The part that—a lot of us don't actually really enjoy that much—which is not the writing of the book or the, you know, nice conversations with the readers, but the part where it's like, okay, you've got to put together this tour schedule, and you've got to answer all these questions for these promotional essays, and—and now you've got to—you know, this promotional machine that—“Go get your photo taken again.” I'm so sick of my face...Multiple Speakers[Both laughing]Jennie NashRight?! It's the performing aspect of being a writer.Mary Laura PhilpottYeah.Jennie NashDid—does any of this have to do with the fact that Bomb Shelter...? I know we talked about it at one point—that you felt, while you were writing it, that this—that it was good. Like, you knew that your vision was matching the execution. And then the world reflected back to you that yes, it is good—you did do that, and at a really high level. Particularly that one. There were a lot of reviews like that, but that sort of was the shining—you know, shining star. Was there a—do you think that the fact that you wrote the book—you know, we're always trying to write the book that we envision, and we don't always get there—and it feels like you got there. Does that have to do with this feeling, do you think?Mary Laura PhilpottMaybe—because there—I mean, you're right, there is almost always a gap between—before we write the thing—this wonderful, amorphous idea in our head where it's like, “This is just a shining galaxy of thoughts,” and then you get it on paper, and its like, “Oops, I killed it. I flattened it.” And there's always this gap between the two. And with Bomb Shelter, I really did—it has the smallest possible gap of anything I've ever written. And so maybe, you know, maybe that is part of it—that I feel like, what else am I waiting for? Like, what else could I want to do? If you get down to the pure reason of why we do this and what draws you to the page—and also the part of my personality that is, for better or for worse, kind of Type A and achievement-driven—this is... maybe I got to that point where I was like, well, I got the A-plus-plus-plus. What else could I try to get? I don't think that's entirely it, because it's not the whole reason that I write. I don't think it's like, “I got the A-plus-plus-plus, now there's nothing left to say.” When there's something to say, I'll say it. But I do—I think you're right that that's part of it.Jennie NashAnd the idea of writing for other people—that there's the writing, and then there's the connecting with other people, knowing that you're doing it for other people, then being out there in the world with those people— Is there a world in which you would write something that doesn't go into the world? Or is that not... I feel like that's something I would not be able to do at this point in my— But I'm so wired and attuned to writing for consumption.Mary Laura PhilpottYeah.Jennie NashI mean, I write for myself. Of course I write the things I want to write—you know, all those things are true—and, yes, for other people.Mary Laura PhilpottYes. Well—and I tend to be similar to you in that regard. And there's so much—you know, we talked a couple minutes ago about the difference between the therapeutic reasons why you start writing and then the actual hard, somewhat miserable work of getting it from the therapeutic version to something that is publishable. And that takes such discipline and real care for the art of it—of turning this thing that was helpful for your own brain into a piece of art that is worth someone investing in and putting out there in the world. I think—I do—I mean, in a way, I kind of write all the time, and you are similar to me in this. Like, we email, we—you know, we're very communicative people, so the writing part of my brain is doing something all the time. And I have started a few little weird projects here and there where I'm like, “Oh, I've had an idea for this,” and I'll, you know, write a few pages and then just kind of set it aside—without feeling like I've got to go attack it with that discipline that turns it into something.Jennie NashYeah.Mary Laura PhilpottAnd maybe that's the part of my brain that's just tired—that's like, I'm still tired. And when I am untired, I will go back and pull those things out and play with them some more. I don't know.Jennie NashYeah, yeah. Well, I love your characterization of that, because I have been talking about this—this newish idea—or I have newish words around this idea of calling it “Write Big”. And people often, I think rightly so, mistake that for big ambition, big goals, big wins, big success, big money—you know, all those things. And it's not that at all, actually. It's the doing the thing with your whole heart.Mary Laura PhilpottYes!Jennie NashNo matter what the thing is.Mary Laura PhilpottAnd not holding back.Jennie NashAnd what you're saying is that the cost of that for you—you're not going to do something. It's not that. And the cost of that for you is too high.Mary Laura PhilpottAt the moment it is. At the moment, when I think about—when I look around at the life I'm in—and this is professionally and personally—there's this interesting confluence, which is, I'm in my... I've just finished my first year of empty nesting. So this has been the first year of my life since I, you know, first had a baby, where my days do not in any way revolve around a school schedule, a nap schedule, a feeding schedule, etc. And then I did maybe the dumbest thing ever—and I adopted a puppy, who does have feeding and nap and all this other stuff. And so all my displaced maternal energy has now been funneled into this puppy, whom I absolutely love—but he is a wild and crazy ‘Looney Tune'. And when I look at the way my days look right now—which is the get up, make my coffee, walk the puppy, feed the puppy, you know, teach the puppy how to sit—and I think, do I feel like trading that right now for getting a dog sitter and going into my office and writing for multiple hours? I don't. I don't want to trade that right now. I may change—I fully reserve the right to change my mind and be like those, you know, sports players who are like, “I'm retired,” and then the next season, they're like, “I'm out of retirement.” Maybe I'll come out of retirement. But right now, what I want to do is feed my puppy, teach my puppy, be available on a moment's notice. If a kid says, “Hey, I was the understudy for this play, but I got called up to be in a performance this weekend,” I want to be able to jump on a plane and go and not have other commitments. I'm enjoying that. And I do fully recognize—I should give this disclaimer—that this is a very privileged situation I am in. My income from books is not what paid our mortgage. I'm married. I have a spouse with a job that has health insurance, you know, so I'm able to make decisions. And I do feel the financial consequences of these decisions. Like, it's not a small deal for me to be like, “I'm not going to write another book,” because that would have been important income—but it's not the only income in our house. So I'm not—if I had still young children coming up, lots of tuitions to pay, mouths to feed—this might not be so easy for me to just be like, “I want to play with my puppy.”Jennie NashRight, right. Well—the idea we started with, of writing big, is trusting your gut. Not writing is trusting your gut. All of this starts and ends with: what do we think, what do we feel, what do we want to say?Mary Laura PhilpottYeah.Jennie NashThose are such hard things to know, and it feels like you're just really tuned into that right now. And you talked at the very beginning—you said that it feels peaceful. Can you just maybe, to end our conversation, describe that feeling? Because that, I think, is what we all are looking for with our work—whether we're doing it or not doing it—is peace around it.Mary Laura PhilpottYeah. I think a big part of the peace—and I wish I had found this earlier, when I did still have things to say and I was writing—because I think it could have removed a lot of distraction for me in writing big, the way you say—is tuning out other people's voices. And if you are the type of person, as I am, who—like, when the Olympics are on TV and I see the person doing the high jump, I'm like, “I bet I could do that if I went and—” like, which obviously I cannot. But I have that part of my brain that's like, “Should I try to do everything I'm capable of doing? Like, I can't. I can't leave anything undone. I should. I should go try to be the best at everything I could ever be the best at.” Because, you know, other people expect me to work hard and produce things. And to be able to tune out that inner voice and other people's voices—those voices that equate productivity with worth—and, you know, “If people aren't talking about the new thing you've done, then how do you even prove you're worth the air you breathe?” Disconnecting from those voices is what led to the peace. And I think I was beginning to disconnect from that while I was writing Bomb Shelter. I think that's why that book worked, in some ways—because I really—I mean, remember, I wrote it during the pandemic. I wrote it when I was stuck at home. I had less contact with the outside world than ever before. We did not know what book publishing was going to look like. We did not know if there would ever be another book tour. So I really did write that book in a bubble of having as little outside input as possible. So I think that's the—maybe, if there's any key to peace—it's tuning out voices that you just don't need.Jennie NashI love that. I love that so much. And I think we will end our conversation there, because it's so profound and it's so good.Mary Laura PhilpottThank you for having me.Jennie NashWell, for our listeners—until next time, stop playing small and write like it matters.NarratorThe Hashtag AmWriting Podcast is produced by Andrew Perrella.

While I am on vacation this summer, I thought I'd take the opportunity to expose my listeners to some other great content created by my friends and colleagues. It's my pleasure to share with you this audio essay by Maia Poet. It's called Trans: When Coping Mechanism Becomes Identity; "When an Identity Takes Root"-- Gender Identity Ideation series, part 1. It was originally published on Maia's Substack on April 22, 2025. Maia has shared her story on my podcast on episode 114. Breast-Binding in a Bomb Shelter? Maia Poet on Surviving War in the Middle East and Within. In the following audio essay, written and recorded by Maia, she does a fantastic job of explaining some concepts that are very much in alignment with my approach in ROGD Repair. Maia had hoped I would take the time to record my response thoughts in depth, but unfortunately I'm a bit too rushed getting everything ready for my vacation, so I'll just say this. The essay is fantastic; we're largely in agreement on most things; and my only real complaint about this whole piece is that she wasn't yet familiar enough with the ROGD Repair toolkit to know that when she describes a need for emotionally intelligent, strategic coaching for parents who want to protect their kids' long term health and wellbeing, this is exactly the kind of work I do... ...Which is why I've begun bringing Maia into the fold of what I'm doing with ROGD Repair. Students can access our first collaboration in this lesson. I'm looking forward to collaborating with Maia in the future. It's exciting to see how she's developing intellectually and how her parent coaching from the perspective of a young desister overlaps with the parent coaching I provide as a therapist-turned-consultant.You can follow Maia at maiapoet.substack.com.

On October 7, 2023, the city of Sderot became one of the first places Hamas unleashed its brutal assault. But right there - in a city riddled with bullet holes, bomb shelters on every corner, and stories of terrorized children - there's something unexpected: life. In this gripping and emotional episode, we sit down with Pastor Michael, leader of City of Life Ministries, just steps from the rubble where terrorists stormed and slaughtered innocent police officers on that Shabbat morning. He takes us into the chaos of those early hours, the miracle that spared his apartment building, and what it's like to raise a family under rocket fire - with just 15 seconds to run for cover. But this isn't just a story of survival. It's a story of spiritual resistance. Of staying. Of blessing. Of building a community that not only endures, but proclaims hope in Yeshua despite pressure, persecution, and war. This episode reveals what the global headlines miss: how God is still writing His story in the land of Israel - even when the world wants to erase it. Key Takeaways: The October 7 Attack in Sderot: Pastor Michael recounts how Hamas deliberately targeted the local police station - killing friends and neighbors - while miraculously sparing nearby residents. Raising Families Under Fire: For over two decades, families in Sderot have lived under constant rocket threat. Bomb shelters aren't just safety - they're part of daily life. A Ministry of Life in a City of Death: City of Life Ministries feeds the hungry, counsels the traumatized, shelters the displaced, and proclaims the eternal hope found in Yeshua - right in the heart of a war zone. Opposition from Within: While Hamas wages war outside, ultra-Orthodox communities protest against Messianic Jews inside. Pastor Michael shares the spiritual and legal battles they've faced and how they keep loving their enemies. The Bigger Picture: What if this war is stirring both Jews and Christians toward a deeper prophetic return - to the land, to the Scriptures, and to one another?

21 months of war takes its toll among anyone in any society, compounded by 12 days or bombardment by hundreds of Iranian missiles. For those at risk, who have fewer abilities and coping methods on their own, the trauma is even greater, and has a potential long term impact for generations. Children who come from homes that cannot support them, who live in communities that have become front line battlefields, and in cannot feel safe or trust people anywhere. Almost anywhere. Today, we look at the needs of the most vulnerable, how they are being cared for, strengthened and developing resilience for their future. It's hopeful and inspiring.PLEASE DONATE TO THE GENESIS 123 FOUNDATION ISRAEL EMERGENCY FUND AT WWW.GENESIS123.CO Hear from the children in their own words here: https://youtu.be/dDVkqPyRpsQSee how we are making a difference and how you can help: https://youtu.be/3S1AX4agUL8 Get information about how you can join FOOTSTEPS at https://genesis123.co/footsteps/For information about and how to register for Root & Branch, please go to www.RootandBranchIsrael.comConnect with the Genesis 123 Foundation at www.Genesis123.co and learn how you can host Shabbat in your community.FB - www.facebook.com/Genesis123Foundation Twitter - @Genesis123FIG - Genesis_123_FoundationFind out how you can be part of Run for Zion and bless Israel with every step at www.RunforZion.com.

We had an amazing chat with Hannah Juanita about her second full length album, "Tennessee Songbird," (released 8/30/24), the sense of community she found when she moved back to Nashville, and touring with her dog Loretta. Hannah Juanita recorded ‘Tennessee Songbird' at The Bomb Shelter in Nashville, TN; her second full-length album following 2021's ‘Hardliner'. Produced by Mose Wilson, the album features an all-star Nashville band with Bruce Bouton, Dennis Crouch, Chris Scruggs, Fred Eltringham, Riley Downing (The Deslondes), and more. Hannah Juanita left her home state of Tennessee in her early twenties to break out of a stifling culture of conformity and meet the world. She travelled in search of herself, worked odd jobs, and spent countless nights singing fireside under the stars with friends, never pursuing music as a career. Eventually, Hannah made it back to Tennessee, landing in Nashville with nothing but herdog Loretta, her guitar, and a handful of heartbreak songs. She started singing around town and quickly became a staple live performer and a highly respected vocalist in the traditional country scene in Music City, known for her classic, old-school sound.

I sit down with Maia Poet, a 24-year-old Israeli-American writer, researcher, and public speaker with an extraordinary story. Maia began identifying as transgender at the tender age of 12 and recently desisted from this identity after living as a man in the Middle East for several years. What led her to this profound change? How did her experiences in Israel and Palestine shape her understanding of gender and identity?Maia shares her harrowing escape from the October 7th attacks, narrowly avoiding the chaos due to a last-minute change in plans. What was it like to be on the brink of such a life-altering event? How did her involvement in peace activism between Jewish and Arab children influence her worldview? Maia paints a vivid picture of the optimism and innocence that existed just before the world around her was shattered.We delve into Maia's unique cultural background, exploring how her Russian Jewish roots and her deep connection to Arab culture influenced her journey. How did studying Arabic and immersing herself in Middle Eastern culture help her reconnect with her Jewish identity? And what role did her trans identification play in her integration into both religious Muslim-Palestinian and Orthodox-Jewish communities?Join us as we navigate through Maia's compelling narrative, from her early intellectual obsessions to her life-changing experiences in Israel. How did a chance encounter in a West Bank coffee shop and an unexpected Bar Mitzvah at the Western Wall cement her male identity? And what ultimately led her to desist from her trans identity? Tune in to hear Maia's fascinating story and gain insights into the complex interplay of culture, identity, and survival.Maia Poet is a 24 year old Israeli-American writer, researcher and public speaker. She began identifying as transgender at the age of 12, and has recently desisted from a trans identity which has lasted for half of her life. Maia is reflecting on her experiences of desistance, in hopes of providing insight for young people struggling with gender distress and, for their parents.

Jeff Cerulli! Comedian! Documentarian! Friend! Guy with a new special out now called "Live at the Bomb Shelter"! ABOUT THE SPECIAL: NYC-based comedian, writer and filmmaker Jeff Cerulli and Comedy Dynamics are pleased to announce the release of Live at the Bomb Shelter, Cerulli's debut full-length comedy special, out now everywhere comedy can be streamed. Cerulli takes the stage at NYC's Bomb Shelter for an hour of comedy that takes viewers on a hilarious journey through growing up on Long Island, the true crime craze, the joys of being a dog-dad, getting engaged after 10 years, and the struggles of helping an aging parent. Notably Cerulli gets into the bad NYC apartments I've lived in: “I had to move about a year ago because my last apartment was filled with lead…which is not what you want.” Cerulli always loved stand up comedy, and knew he would try it one day. He started running comedy shows in his 20s - a great way to land consistent stage time. “I have run so many random shows at different places in the city that most of the bars are now either a 7/11 or a Citibank”. The Bomb Shelter is a weekly comedy show run by Cerulli since 2016 in the basement of the Gaf West - one of the best independent comedy rooms in New York, super-intimate with low ceilings, a hot pipe and Christmas lights all year round. Says Cerulli: “There isn't anything else like it, going up and telling jokes without a net. It is the only artform you must practice in front of strangers to get better.” Cerulli is a filmmaker as well as a comedian, with multiple documentaries, web-series, and short films to his credit. Thus, he opted to make his own special a DIY affair, hiring amazing DP friend Ari Rothschild to shoot and run sound, and Paul Levin from International Digital Centre to mix. Cerulli edited Live at the Bomb Shelter himself, deftly switching hats: “I have been doing comedy for a long time, I have enough material, just do it.“ Cerulli took it to Comedy Dynamics because he loves what they are doing in the comedy space and was thrilled that they came aboard to distribute. ABOUT JEFF CERULLI: Jeff Cerulli is a NYC-based stand-up comedian and filmmaker who has performed all around the world. Jeff has been featured on Sirius radios Jim & Sam show, Amazon Game Breakers, The Laugh Button & Decider. His web series The Feed earned critical praise - The Observer said “it hits too close to home” and Paste called it “a sly satire on social media.” Jeff's feature-length documentary debut Hungry premiered at the IFC Center as part of the DOC NYC film festival. His latest documentary Tasteless, about the ever-changing comedy landscape, is currently available on Apple TV. Jeff currently hosts the podcast Your Team's Stuff where he invites a guest to judge memorabilia he finds off eBay for their favorite sports team ABOUT THIS PODCAST: Listen and enjoy!
