In this episode, Nora speaks to writer and producer Carolina Barlow about her life-altering car accident at the age of 28. Nora and Carolina discuss the commonalities in what they’ve been through (and how they both thought maybe astrology would save us — it didn’t), how much humour helps in recovery, and the inevitable depth of empathy gained through having a “before and after”: whether that’s an accident, illness, or loss. They also both agreed that balloon bouquets should be left off gift lists for people in the hospital moving forward since they only caused us both (literal) nightmares.
Carolina is currently a staff writer on the upcoming Will Ferrell series THE GOLF WAR, for Netflix. Prior to that she was a producer, writer, and co-host of the Ron Burgundy Podcast as well as the True Romance Podcast with iHeart Media. She is developing an original project with Apatow Productions and recently developed a project with FX with Lisa Harrison attached to produce. Additionally, she has co-produced the Netflix documentary WILL & HARPER and has previously worked with Leslye Headland. She is developing FRANKENSTEIN IS A FRIEND with Will and Mosaic Films.

Description

So, Life Wants You Dead is a weekly podcast of intimate patient interviews from around the world and the narrative of one woman’s experience of illness. It's a show about illness, trauma, creativity and disability hosted by Nora Logan, a writer, well-being advocate and liver transplant recipient. Nora went into unexpected liver failure in 2015 at age 28 whilst working in late-night comedy TV. She received a life-saving liver transplant a few weeks later. Whatever caused her liver to fail was never diagnosed and remains a mystery to this day. She has tried to make sense of her calamity through writing and sharing her experience and by connecting with the patient community. In this show, Nora creates the space to have honest, funny and expansive conversations with people who have an illness, disability or chronic condition and who just so happen to be creatives, too.
