Michael Cruz Kayne is a stand-up comedian, a writer for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and host of the podcast A Good Cry, where he talks about grief by sharing the experience of the loss of his infant son in order to talk with others who have lost loved ones about the grief podcast. He's a beautiful human and a good father. Since this is the first episodes of the podcast that I've recorded since the birth of my daughter Clover six weeks ago, I decided to insist that Michael try to give me parenting advice, so that's what today's episode is all about. We talk about the Philip Larkin poem "This Be The Verse" and Michael wonders if from day one parenting is just the most beautiful trauma. Give it a listen!
