Melissa Rivers' Group Text Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

When five women in the Topeka Correctional Facility wrote to singer/songwriter Melissa Etheridge describing their lives before and during their incarceration, they never imagined they’d be muses for her. The new two-part documentary, “Melissa Etheridge: I’m Not Broken” (now streaming on Paramount+) follows her journey from writing a new song inspired by those letters to performing it at a live concert at the prison. Melissa talks with me about how her performance inspired change at the Topeka facility, how her family’s love held her together in the wake of her son Beckett’s death, and how sometimes a deadline is the greatest form of artistic inspiration.

Sex education has come a long way since “the birds and the bees,” but it seems most adults are still reluctant to talk about sexuality. Not my guest Liz Goldwyn, whose new book, “Sex, Health and Consciousness,” tackles every practical aspect of human sexuality. Liz brings behind-closed-doors topics like pornography and masturbation into the open and also shares how the right vibrator and an iCal schedule invitation can keep things hot and heavy in a sputtering long-term relationship.

Jason Ritter, who voices Fox’s Father in the new preschool series “Slumberkins,” (Apple TV streaming Nov. 4th), is not only an accomplished actor in his own right, but comes from a long line of legendary performers. As an “entertainment kid,” Jason talks about the legacies of his grandad, actor and singer Tex Ritter, and his father, John Ritter, who ruled TV airwaves until his untimely death in 2003. Having processed grief and trauma publicly since his dad’s passing, Jason brings unique insight to his “Slumberkins” character, making it easier for kids to manage difficult and confusing topics.

Funny man Will Sasso joins me to talk about his hilarious new country-musical podcast, “Uncle Drank,” in which he plays the eponymous fictional title character: a flip-flop-wearing beach-bum rocker whose best friend is a talking blender, that goes missing in the early 90s. Will breaks down his long career in acting and ensemble comedy, which started when he was just 15, discusses humor as a team sport, and suggests that the unsupervised genius of his hit series Mad TV would be nearly impossible to do in this day and age.
