Margaret Cho on Struggling, Sexual Assault in the Seventies and Sobriety (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most people think reinvention means becoming someone new. Margaret Cho found hers by finally becoming fully herself. In this episode of Love, Take Two, hosted by José Rolón and Jaimie Kelton, Margaret takes listeners through the version of her story that rarely makes the highlight reel: leaving high school before finishing, chasing comedy and independence on her own terms, and landing a role that made television history as the star of the first Asian American sitcom, only to watch the network tr
Alexis Kristiana on Texas, Toddlers and Trading the Suburbs for the City (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most people think a second act means starting over somewhere new. Alexis Kristiana found hers by going back to where she started.

John Friia on Shyness, Shedding and Self Actualization (opens the original)
Read excerpt
John Friia spent his twenties chasing the on camera career local news kept telling him to leave New York to find, until the pandemic handed him a strange kind of shortcut.
