Summary

This week Molly and Amanda interview Shelly Gossman...seasoned improviser, writer for SNL, Raising Hope, and APBio as well as co-executive producer of APBio. Shelly had Lymphoma at 23 and Breast Cancer at 35 and clearly she didn't let that slow her down. But what about motherhood? Did she want to be a mom? What's an oophorectomy? What's a bicornuate uterus? What were her options? How can improv help Cancer patients?

Plus Molly tells you all about her week in Tinder. She thinks it's a pretty funny story. Maybe you will too.
