The World Isn't as Good as I Want It to Be with Rob Auton

Rob Auton (HBO's Miracle Workers, Edinburgh Fringe whiz) is a writer, performer, comedian, and poet of extraordinary wonder. While this episode is split into many of the usual segments about Rob's personal hell, his views of the afterlife, funeral planning, and his "coma," this conversation flows together as one long meditation on the meaning and magic of life and finding your purpose.
