Ep 11. THE PRIVATE LIFE OF PEG LYNCH - The Ashes

Our story concludes - for now - with Peg’s last days, and a darkly comic misadventure. Astrid tells a poignant tale of bringing Mama back to the land where she was raised and how the sound of a Nordic love song accompanied Peg and Odd to their final repose. But - as ever - Peg Lynch has the last word.

THE PRIVATE LIFE OF PEG LYNCH is an 11-part podcast (plus a Teaser). It’s the story of a small-town girl of remarkable precocity who went on to write, star and own her very own sitcom on radio and TV. It’s a story of two mediums, of marriage, of motherhood and how this brainy, funny lady became one of America’s favourite writers and comedians and how it all crashed to an end after 10,000 scripts. It's told through her daughter's voice (that would be me, Astrid King) with Peg herself chiming in here and there from archival interviews. Music by Denis King and the occasional remark from James Lileks.

Bonus: the episodes have photos to illustrate the tales, drawn from Peg’s collection. It’s one of those podcasts you’ll want to watch as well as hear.
