42 - Eliza Stoughton - How I Learned to Drive

This week on Out of Curiosity with kt mather I chat with my friend Eliza Stoughton about both being distantly related to Puritan witch judges / murderers, meeting in Montana, our quick & infrequent friendship, getting free drinks with magic, one of the reasons why I might’ve been wrong about trigger warnings, some of the things that make the new Little Women SO great, Eliza’s almost exclusively pie-based social media presence, and the path to becoming a professional actor. Plus we take a deep dive into the harrowing, Pulitzer Prize winning play by Paula Vogel about sexual assault, love, and forgiveness called How I Learned to Drive (including a look at Eliza’s own experience putting on the play). And finally, after we signed off, Eliza realized that we really needed to discuss her own experience with being betrayed by a trusted teacher, so the last 45 minutes or so of the episode is dedicated to that.
