Mae Martin on ADHD, Pronouns & 50 Escape Rooms Later

Comedian. Writer. Producer. Musician. Mae Martin does it all — and in this episode, they join Elizabeth for a funny, open-hearted chat about identity, creativity and the messy bits in between. They talk ADHD, the power of pronouns, and what music means to them.
