Ep 177 with Laura Smyth (Part 1) : Gigging is so real, we are very lucky
About this episode
Mark Steel and Laura Smyth discuss various topics including cancer survival, social media, and the importance of facing mortality.
Mark is joined by comedian Laura Smyth as they discuss surviving cancer, stoicism and hypnotherapy, body neutrality after mastectomy, social media outrage and “narrative construction”, the loss of real-world connection in the age of smartphones, stand-up as communal therapy, raising daughters and sons differently, and why facing your mortality can make you finally stop carrying the shit you don’t need.
