Dear listeners,

In the threshold between late last night and very early this morning, a blood moon lunar eclipse draped a red glow across the cratered orb. The moon this morning was also a worm moon, meaning that with this flush of color comes early signs of spring. As skies get lighter, it is a fortuitous time to listen to our newest conversation with celebrated comedian Rachel Dratch.

Rachel—known for her work on SNL, 30 Rock, and beyond—never wanted to be seen as just another “woo-woo” Hollywood actress. She prefers to hold the idea of magick lightly, treating it with her characteristic curiosity and humor. Even so, when she visited a channeler whose uncanny predictions came true, Rachel started to pay more attention to signs, as well as what the woo can tell us about being human.

Now, Rachel hosts a podcast fittingly called “Woo-Woo With Rachel Dratch.” You can hear Rebecca’s appearance on “Woo-Woo” here and actor Jeff Hiller (and his impression of Rebecca) here.
