So, Life Wants You Dead is a weekly podcast of intimate patient interviews from around the world and the narrative of one woman’s experience of illness. It’s a show about illness, trauma, creativity and disability hosted by Nora Logan, a writer, well-being advocate and liver transplant recipient. Nora went into unexpected liver failure in 2015 at age 28 whilst working in late-night comedy TV. She received a life-saving liver transplant a few weeks later. Whatever caused her liver to fail was never diagnosed and remains a mystery to this day. She has tried to make sense of her calamity through writing and sharing her experience and by connecting with the patient community. In this show, Nora creates the space to have honest, funny and expansive conversations with people who have an illness, disability or chronic condition and who just so happen to be creatives, too.
