S4E17 Big Stuff: love, loss, and the things we keep

What happens when the ordinary objects of a life become extraordinary after loss? In this episode the co-hosts sit down with acclaimed playwrights and actors Matt Baram and Naomi Snieckus to discuss their deeply relatable play: Big Stuff.
We explore how grief can surface in unexpected places—through the belongings we inherit, the stories attached to them, and the emotional weight they carry. With warmth, (lots of) humour, and honesty, Matt and Naomi reflect on the inspiration behind the play, the universal experience of sorting through a loved one’s possessions, and the ways theatre can help us make meaning in the aftermath of loss.
This conversation is a thoughtful exploration of attachment and the sometimes surprising intersections of grief, love, and laughter.
