About this episode
Comedian, writer, producer, and Dropout fan-favorite Danielle Radford joins Tawny Platis to make friendship bracelets and talk about everything from DND to perimenopause.
While making polyhedral bead masterpieces (and absolutely roasting her own design skills), Danielle shares about:
- Being a proud “DND personality hire” and why not knowing the rules is part of the fun
-The theater kid energy that makes Dimension 20 feel like home- Falling asleep scrolling and accidentally following Nazis
- The perimenopause conversation no one prepared us for
- Grinding through temp jobs, 5:30 a.m. bus rides, and open mics before the breakthrough
- Her lifelong love of WWE and the entrance song she’d use in the ring
From comedy hustle stories to hot flashes, to Dropout comfort shows and wrestling fandoms, Danielle brings humor and vulnerability to one of our favorite episodes.
Plus, every bracelet made during this episode is available for purchase, with 100% of the proceeds going to Feeding America, Danielle’s chosen charity.
Remember, every bracelet has a story, and every story helps a cause.
