Have you ever laid awake at night, cringing at something your younger self did or said? So why is it that when we hear other peoples' memories from their own awkward phases, we're free of judgment? Dave Nadelberg and Neil Katcher are the co-founders of Mortified — a comedy podcast and live show where people read old diary entries from their childhoods. They're experts in turning embarrassing stories into hilarious, heartwarming ones. David and Neil tell Chris their own quirky/eccentric/teenage anecdotes, and share how you can also learn to find the irony, joy and hilariousness in your own cringe.
The first time someone says I love you could be the same moment you never see them again… Kim and John are lost in the chaos and struggling to find their way to safety when a country music concert in Vegas becomes the site of a senseless tragedy.

What is the role storytelling plays in creating deeper relationships? Dave Nadelberg is best known as the creator of Mortified and the cultural movement has now become a podcast, multiple books, a couple documentaries and the new Netflix series, The Mortified Guide. But it all started with a live show, which is still going strong across 20 cities around the world. He and co-creator Neil Katcher recently created a card game called, "I Can't Believe I Did That..." which is both a party game and an exercise in empathy and hilarity. We'll talk about the power of storytelling and the ways we can use story to better connect with other people. " Reminisce with your friends about intense pop star crushes, questionable fashion choices, and sobbing at the middle school dance with conversation prompts that spark memories of your most heartwarming, confusing, and totally OMG-worthy moments. Celebrate all your weirdest and most wonderful childhood memories and get to know your friends like never before with this gloriously awkward and honest party game for adults 17 and up--perfect for any video chat or socially distant hangout."

When Dave Nadelberg of Mortified used to visit his mother’s grave, he would look around at the nearby gravestones and see similar - or even the exact same - epitaphs for lots of different people. And it made him curious: who were these people, really? What were their personalities, what happened in their lives? And didn’t they deserve something more meaningful, more personal, than these bland and repetitive epitaphs? So when Dave’s father died a few years later, Dave was determined to choose better words to represent him in perpetuity.

You can think of Dave Nadelberg's vast Mortified project as The Hilarious World of Embarrassment, Awkwardness, and Redemption. Through stage presentations, film, TV, and books, Dave invites people to share their most mortifying writing. It's very funny, sure, but it's more than that. Dave says the process of dragging your younger self out of that old trunk can provide understanding of who you were and what motivated you. That, in turn, can offer valuable insight into who you are. Also in this episode, John is dragged kicking and screaming into revealing his 2nd grade secret identity.
In this Radical Short I talk to Dave Nadelberg, co-founder of the stage show, television series, books, movie and more that make up Mortified. In the last episode of A Therapist Walks Into a Bar, "The Presence of Past," I shared some clips from my performance in the stage show in Oakland. But this thing, where people get on stage and read from their adolescent diaries, share poems, songs, plays they wrote - it actually happens in chapters all over the world. Several months ago, on my sister show Radical Advice, I chatted with Dave about how all this got started.

Clint Schaff is the homie, and also one of the creative forces behind the Dirty John podcast, NEWSTORY at Festival of Books (which happens to include a LIVE Rebel Radio interview with Ali Shaheed Muhammad, coming soon) and a bunch of other innovation at the LA Times. He stopped by the studio to tell us about how he’s stirring it up at a 100+ year old media company, innovating their business with content and experiences. For Clint, it’s part of a lifelong journey to explore stories that inspire him. That drive has taken him from embracing hip hop in a tiny midwestern town into the White House and on to Israel, with lots of twists and turns in between. Check out Clint’s story here.

Dave Nadelberg, the creator of the Mortified show and podcast, talked to us about current projects, his past masterbation techniques, and his loves - past, present, and future.
"This job is one of the great loves of my life, so I feel so lucky to get to do it.” What an amazing thing to be able to say about your work. So much better than her previous career: "The thing I hated about it the most was just going to get worse the better I did.” She’s spent almost the last two decades as artist director at The Moth, helping storytellers shape their stories before they get up on stage. The moth has brought us over 20,000 stories through its live events around the world, as well as books, podcasts, and The Moth Radio Hour on NPR. We interviewed Catherine live on stage at SXSW as part of the Dropbox Podcast Studio, a daylong event featuring five podcasts: — — — — and, for the first time ever in Austin, Rebel Radio. News spread quickly about Catherine’s wisdom, and by the end of our interview, what had been a pretty empty Parish Theater was nearly full. Word-of-mouth travels fast at SXSW. Catherine shared her own stories from her journey from filmmaking into helping storytellers by constantly challenging them to raise the stakes of their stories. She says the first thing she does is find the thing that really matters to the storyteller, because that’s what will matter to the audience. She also talks about the challenges she’s faced along the way. Keeping a brand fresh for nearly 20 years is no easy task. She and her colleagues continue to do it for the love, and challenge each other to get better and better over time. Check out Catherine’s story right here...

Imagine getting up in front of a room full of strangers and telling them your most private, most embarrassing secrets. You read from pages of your childhood diary, pages that don’t particularly make you look good. And then those strangers erupt in applause. You’ve not only made them laugh, you made them feel a little better about themselves, their flaws, and secrets. You’ve soothed their fears that they each may be the only weirdo in the room. Imagine doing this night after night, in city after city, and getting thousands of others to do the same thing. That’s what Dave Nadelberg does. He’s the leader of the Mortified Nation, who — in a series of live events around the country, on podcasts, and even on Netflix — are more than willing to spill their guts for your entertainment and catharsis. In our interview, we explore his journey from frustrated creative to reluctant folk hero, learning some important lessons along the way: - How he uses his community to keep him true to the brand - Where he draws the lines of political correctness - When to let Hollywood in, and when to keep it out I hope you’ll join us on this journey.

Mortified creator Dave Nadelberg is the guy behind—yes—Mortified, a "cultural phenomenon" (per Newsweek) that consists of a live show in cities around the world (from Austin, LA and New York to Amsterdam, London and Guadalajara), two books, a TV show, a documentary and now a podcast. The Mortified concept, in short, is this: people take diary entries, letters and any other ephemera from their childhoods and read them on a stage (the books featured collections of some of them, the TV show had Nadelberg going through personal artifacts with celebrities, the documentary documented the entire project and the podcast consists of recordings of live shows accompanied by interviews with the performers). As the guy who created a project that gives adults a chance to connect with their old selves while taking the shame out of previous, potentially ludicrous, thoughts and feelings, Nadelberg is a thoughtful soul. Though he's not an addict, he's worked through his own share of issues over the years, all of which we get into here. In this episode, we discuss male sluttiness, why therapy doesn't need to take place in an office with a shrink and how sex is psychological, among other topics.
Dave Nadelberg, co-host of Mortified from Radiotopia, has a tale for you! Learn about his idea from 13 years ago and how it grew from a one off stage show, to grow to create an international pheonmenon including books, a tv series, a Netflix documentary and eventually the hit podcast, Mortified!
