Somebody Somewhere: Bridget Everett and Jeff Hiller on Platonic Love and Why Dreams Don’t Have Deadlines
LISTEN ON:
Somebody Somewhere stars Bridget Everett and Jeff Hiller sit with host Gabe González to discuss the critically acclaimed show, the beauty of finding your creative community, queer life in small town America and why it’s never too late to chase your dreams.
Episode Description
In this episode, host Gabe González introduces us to the loving, incisive, and decidedly off-beat humor of Somebody Somewhere, a show that is redefining home, friendship, family, and even traditional narrative structure. He interviews the series’ stars Bridget Everett and Jeff Hiller and they discuss the importance of making friends after 40, found family, why queerness and faith are not contradictory, and how platonic love can sometimes be the one that helps us become fully ourselves.
