Podcast Description
Afterbirth Stories is a collection of readings pulled from seven years of live Afterbirth performances in Los Angeles and New York. The stories are original monologues written and performed by acclaimed writer/actor/comedian parents about the moment they knew their lives changed forever on becoming a parent. Although everyone's story is different, they're all candid, raw, and heart-felt. They are intended for an adult audience.
