Rosie Schaap

Rose Schaap starts off her podcast by making the listeners laugh through her comment of being “self-absorbed” since she enjoys therapy sessions. This comment also sets the listeners up to better understand where she is going with her overall theme by being focused on herself. She describes the Metro North bar car. Grimy, smoky, and somewhat depressing. She explains how she would go into the car and tell jokes, people would listen to her and laugh. She used it as a form of attention. She then moves onto using tarot cards to get more attention. She explains the different types of people that come to her vulnerable, using Rosie as a way to figure out their life.  This scene reveals the control she has over other people, which makes her feel powerful. Again- she is focused on herself not the person’s card she is reading. By the end of the podcast she finally moves away from any sort of comedy to an entirely serious topic-death.
