Last week, Lulu heard an interview that trapped her in her car. She decided to play it for Latif.
The interview – originally from a podcast called The Relentless Picnic), but presented by one of Lulu’s current podcast faves, The 11th) – is part of an episode of mini pep talks designed to help us all get through this cold, dark, second-pandemic-winter-in-a-row. But the segment that Lulu brings Latif is about someone trying to get through something arguably much more difficult, something a pep talk can’t solve, but that a couple friends — and one very generous stranger — might be able to help make a little more bearable.
The episode of The 11th this comes from is “I’m Here to Pep You Up.”) The Relentless Picnic is currently running a series of episodes called CABIN, an audio exploration of isolation, which you can listen to here). The organization where Matt volunteers as a counselor is called SUDEP). The Lu Olkowski story Lulu recommends at the end of the episode is “Grandpa,”) and the lobster story Latif recommends is “The Luckiest Lobster.”)
