Episode Description

Emmy-winning comedian Samantha Bee chats with Zibby about her hilarious self-penned one-woman show and Audible original, HOW TO SURVIVE MENOPAUSE. The two talk all things menopause, aging, and the daily indignities that accompany both. They bond over frozen shoulders, impossible bras, night sweats, and the absurd lack of public conversation and research around women’s health in midlife—and applaud the Gen X women who are finally breaking the silence. Samantha also reflects on her unexpected path to comedy and television.
