Griefstrike! Jason Roeder on How to Laugh When Life Brings On the Heartbreak

Jason Roeder is a writer, author, and satirist. He was previously a senior editor and senior writer for The Onion where he contributed to many all-time classic Onion headlines and articles.

In today's Inner Views episode, Jason speaks with Seph and Lex about Griefstrike!, his brand-new comedy book that teaches us to laugh at and with grief.  Jason wrote Griefstrike! during the pandemic, after his mother's passing.

Today's conversation ranges from the profound to the practical, and many deep questions arise:

If someone doesn't support you during your grief, what's the best way to banish them?

Which 80s glam rock band had the best grief advice? 

When someone close to you dies, which stuff of theirs do you keep?

Which Disney character is the best grief counselor?

In addition, Jason, Seph, and Lex work diligently to understand psychologist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's 5-stage grief model. Then they uncover Ross's super-secret 6th stage of grief. 

If you want to know this final, mind-blowing stage of grief, you MUST listen to this Inner Views with one of the best comedy writers around, Jason Roeder.
