The Lindas with Caren Lissner 

On this episode of The Mom Coms: Stand-up and Stories, we hear from Caren Lissner— author of the novel Carrie Pilby and comedic contributor to the New York Times, McSweeney's, The Washington Post, and Parents Magazine.

Caren reads an excerpt from her memoir-in-progress, How We Became Homeless, and chats with Mom Coms Holly Rizzuto Palker and Liz Alterman about seeing her novel become a movie, surviving her mother’s mental health struggles, and protecting her own kids. 

For an added bonus, listen to how we react when our kids “pop” in! Nathan Lane is a fan of her work, and so are we! Join us for a bumpy (and funny) bit of Caren’s journey.
