The Art of Grief, a new show featuring conversations with artists, creators, mental health professionals, spiritual guides and everyday people exploring the many forms of loss and grief, and the different ways we all try to cope – or can’t. Co-hosted by podcast veteran, author and the chair of USC’s Gender & Sexuality Studies department, Dr. Karen Tongson, and Dr. Megan Auster-Rosen, a clinical psychologist and former Associate Medical Director of Behavioral Health at Cedars Sinai, the show is led by two queer voices who are not only experts in their fields, but also close-friends whose bond was formed by processing their histories of grief.
