Welcome to Go Ask Alley, a production of Shonda Land Audio and partnership with iHeartRadio.

Rolling on the full laughing is a thing. I've seen people do it. I've done it!

For me, now the work is to want what I have.

Even kind of shitty stuff. You know, that's my work. It's imperfect.

So let me ask you a question about actors because you are...

I hate them.

Yeah, me too.

We are old Fuddy Dutdies. We go to sleep at 10, we wake up at 6.

We go to bed at 8, so we are more Fuddy Dutdies than you.

You are the Fuddy Dutdies.

Yes.

Welcome to Go Ask Alley. I'm Alley Wentworth. I don't know about you,

but I feel like we're all immersed in a very fear-based culture.

I'm scared of everything from global warming, to nuclear war,

to the things I'm streaming on television,

which all seem to be true crime.

I think people read little things in magazines,

and then you somehow put them in a scenario within your own life

and just scare the shit out of yourself.

So what is our relationship with fear?

What does it mean?

How do we reduce it? How do we understand it? How do we intuit it?
