Terrible, Thanks For Asking

October 8, 1988

Suffering can feel like such a singular experience -- like there’s no one else in the world who understands what we’re going through. But sometimes, if we look hard enough, we find that our singular experience intersects with another.This is the story of two young girls whose stories intertwined during a tragic accident on October 8, 1988 … though they wouldn’t meet for decades to come.Support our new independent production (and get bonus content galore!) by joining TTFA Premium. <a href="https://www.patreon.com/ttfa">Sign up.</a>Did you know we’re on TikTok?

“Terrible, Thanks For Asking” is a show by author Nora McInerny that lets real people get real honest about how they’re really doing. It’s sometimes sad, sometimes funny, and almost always both. A production of Feelings &amp; Co.
