In her book, Moon shares stories of growing up in an unconventional household in 1970s Los Angeles, coming of age as part of the MTV generation in the 1980s as the “Valley Girl,” and finding herself after losing her father, then her mother, and the dismantling of her longest relationships.

There's something about sharing a meal that loosens the tongue and opens people up. That's the simple, delicious premise behind Breaking Bread with Tom Papa. Each week, the comedian sits down with a fascinating guest-from fellow comics and actors to chefs, writers, and artists-and lets the conversation flow as naturally as a good dinner party. The talk isn't strictly about food, though it often meanders there; it's more about the ingredients that make up a life: work, family, failures, and the little joys found in a perfect slice of pizza. Tom's warm, curious, and genuinely funny approach creates an atmosphere where guests tend to share stories and perspectives you might not hear elsewhere. This isn't a formal interview; it's the kind of easy, laughter-filled chat that happens when people connect over something fundamental. Produced by All Things Comedy, the podcast serves up a consistent blend of humor and heart, making you feel like you've pulled up a chair at the table. You'll come for the comedy and the recognizable names, but you'll stay for the surprising depth and the feeling that you're listening in on a real, unguarded conversation between friends.
