Jade Iovine is a native Los Angeles writer and host who has made a career out of skipping the small talk.
Instead she plunges, headfirst and with her signature self-deprecating style, into the deliciously unfiltered types of conversations that we all secretly salivate over. Her work takes a running leap into the deep end of existence, unveiling the less-than-flattering symptoms of mental illness, untangling the webs of family drama, or tackling the slow-motion train wreck of a crumbling friendship.
Whatever the subject, Jade is a master truth-whisperer who lures our bad days and cringe-worthy memories out of dark corners and reminds us that we’re not alone.
With her podcast, Live From Bed, Jade offers a cozy haven of reality, a place to shelter from the constant barrage of overhyped success stories and the never-ending comparison festival of online life. In each episode, she commiserates with her audience and guests about struggles that people usually keep hidden beneath the surface: stings of rejection, embarrassing moments that creep up on you in the shower six years later, or excruciating social encounters that make you want to crawl under the covers forever. The result is a magical, shame-releasing sigh of relief for the host, guests, and audience alike.
