Description
"Life In Jest" is your weekly escape from the absurdity of everyday life. Hosted by cousins and best friends Selene Castrovilla and Pascale Laforest, two battle-worn souls who have been driven to the brink but refuse to check into Bellevue (because let’s be honest, the wine selection is probably awful). Instead, we choose to laugh. Each week, we dive into the wild and wacky ways humans think, process, and explain the world—through true crime, bizarre history, the supernatural, pop culture, TV & movies, current events, and our own misadventures. Tune in every Tuesday for sharp wit, unfiltered takes, and a much-needed break from the madness. Got a topic? Send it our way—because if we don’t laugh, we might just lose it. Cheers!
