Good Grief with Amanda Kloots

Zach Braff's Advice for When Life Falls Apart

August 19, 2026·1h 1m
Episode Description from the Publisher

Zach Braff knows grief - and he's learned to find the light in it. In this raw and unexpectedly funny conversation, Amanda sits down with her longtime friend to talk about losing his father, Hal, processing pain through his films (A Good Person, Clean Hands), and the moment his hard-of-hearing dad shouted "How do you spell aneurysm?" in the ICU - and the whole family broke into laughter. Zach opens up about channeling sadness into art, the advice Bobby Cannavale gave him when his career stalled ("Bro, move on. It's what we do."), and his "throw the kitchen sink at it" method for crawling out of a dark season. If you're grieving, struggling, or just need permission to laugh through the hard stuff, this one's for you. Produced by Dear Media Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
