Solutions and Other Problems

Allie Brosh tells stories that feel both chaotic and deeply human: childhood logic that makes perfect sense until it doesn’t, adult moments that spiral into absurdity, and the quiet, aching realizations that sit behind laughter. Her world is full of animals, neighbors, daydreams, and the strange ways people try to connect.

Across these chapters, the humor never dismisses the hard parts. Instead, it makes room for them—anger that turns out to be meaningless, loneliness that feels lunar, grief that doesn’t erase love, and the gentle practice of becoming someone’s own friend. The result is a supportive reminder that even when life is weird, it can still be lived with curiosity, softness, and meaning.

• Listeners who enjoy funny, heartfelt personal stories that also touch on loneliness, grief, and self-acceptance
• Anyone who feels “too weird,” too sensitive, or too imaginative—and wants reassurance that those traits can be survivable and even valuable
• People who want a gentle nudge toward self-friendship, especially during seasons of isolation or transition

Allie Brosh is a writer and illustrator known for her distinctive autobiographical storytelling, blending simple drawings with sharp, emotional humor.
