Amanda Uhle (Destroy This House, McSweeney’s) is a journalist, publisher, and author. Amanda joins the Armchair Expert to discuss the east meets west hodgepodge decor cultivated by her eccentric parents, her job as a child to not make her mother’s hoarding a problem, and her dad’s increasing involvement with a motivational tape MLM. Amanda and Dax talk about navigating the subculture of being a pastor’s kid, her mom obsession with death taking shape in a vocation as a hospice nurse, and her father’s pulpit mental breakdown and subsequent stroke. Amanda explains investigating her mysterious parents because she didn’t know what to make of them after their death, how we really have no idea what’s going on in people’s homes, and finding herself totally at peace with who her parents were.
