What's so funny?
***A heads up: This episode is gonna get real. There will be some unbleeped swearing, and conversations about mental health issues and suicide..*** Ash Diggs is funny. So funny in fact that one of his jobs is to make people laugh. He’s a stand-up comedian who grew up in the South, moved to Queens, New York in 2021 but hails from Vermont. We speak with Ash about the relationship between comedy, addiction and depression, and how art can be both an enabler and a healer. Homegoings is a production of Vermont Public. Follow season 1 here. This episode was mixed, scored and reported by Myra Flynn. She also composed the theme music.Other music by Blue Dot Sessions and Jay Green. Brittany Patterson edits the show, and James Stewart and Elodie Reed contribute to so many things on the backend of making this thing come to life, including our Homegoings artist portraits. Special thanks to Radio Bean in Burlington Vermont, for the recording of Ash’s live set, “Unexpectedly Human.” Due to the holidays, see you in three weeks, this time, for another episode of Homegoings.
