Dan O’Brien

This week, Jessica is joined by enemy of the state and husband, playwright and poet Dan O’Brien to discuss the launch of his three new books, including a memoir of his childhood and a book of prose poems about the year following their treatment for cancer.

This week June is late, but right on time, bathrobe and all. The gals lean into the power of ‘voting for yourself,’ Jessica unveils the The Deep Dive Pinterest page to a speechless June, and they ask the question: when do you show the butt crack? Then, grab a tissue because American playwright, poet and essayist (also Jessica’s husband) Dan O’Brien joins to read a few absolutely beautiful poems from his new book, Our Cancers. And don’t worry, this is the first and LAST time a husband will be on the podcast.
