CAPRE DIEM!!! This week marks six years since the incredible genius, Robin Williams, took his own life. Williams had an energy that touched a plethora of people during his career highs and lows. We’re honoring the legacy of Williams with our listener-voted episode by discussing one of his hidden gems, Dead Poets Society. Much like his character, John Keating, Williams dared “to strike out and discover something new.” We’re joined by Philly based comedian, LeMaire Lee (https://bit.ly/320guest), to discuss the misconceptions surrounding poetry, comedy, emotional abuse, the importance of value and individualism and more.
