This Is Your Afterlife, Shantira Jackson

Shantira Jackson ("Busy Tonight" & "Saved by the Bell" reboot writer, Second City Mainstage writer/performer) talks to me (Dave, the host of the show) about the "Actual Afterlives" live show that gave birth both to her "Black Heaven" sketch and this podcast. You'll hear the absurd reason a woman requested a refund for the Second City show, Shantira's obsession with the "bench dance" on "So You Think You Can Dance," and how performing on a cruise ship led her to sell a bunch of her Banana Republic clothes.
