Description

Welcome to the 2nd Season of I Swear on My Mother’s Grave podcast. My second guest this season is the one and only…Peter Sagal, the long running host of NPR’s news/trivia game show Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me! In this episode, Peter and I chat about dealing with grief on a public stage, running, divorce, new marriages, new babies, chronic pain, Jewish mothers, and a word called “forgiveness?”

Thanks for being here! This show isn’t just about our moms, it’s about us. Sign up for all the latest news around this podcast, and see behind the scenes content on our website.
