New Year's Special: Perfectionist Fantasies with Claire Favret (PATREON UNLOCKED)

It's the second annual This Is Your Afterlife New Year's Special, initially recorded as a Patreon bonus episode with Claire Favret. Call it the Solstice Special. I come hard out the gate with depression and we dive into darkness and its purposes, plus all of Claire's family's solstice traditions, which are many. 

Thanks for spending any part of your year with me and this show. See you in 2023!

Content warning: ungrateful children, Eve Bunting's Night Tree, winter solstice, resolution sprees, ongoing muffled scream.
