Bump in the Road is moving to a new home! In January, the podcast will move to its own URL: https://BumpInTheRoad.us
The podcast will still be free, and available on all major podcast platforms.
With travel on hold for the foreseeable future, we’ll be traveling virtually to explore human resilience and inspiration through story. We have some incredible stories coming up. I hope you’ll enjoy them.
To transition to the new website, Bump is taking a holiday for the next week and a half. Then I’ll drop you an email and you can join us at the new site.
Have a wonderful holiday. See you in 2021!

Marisa Acocella is a cartoonist for The New Yorker, New York Times best selling author, three time cancer survivor and founder of the Marisa Acocella Foundation at the Mount Sinai Best Israel Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Marisa Acocella
In addition to her well known New Yorker cartoons (click here to peruse some of her work) Marisa is also the author of the highly acclaimed graphic novel, Cancer Vixen, Ann Tenna and her most recent publication, The Big She-Bang in which explores how different history might be if it weren’t “written by a bunch of men about a bunch of men”.
What if women wrote the history of the world?
Other Books by Marisa Acocella:
The highly acclaimed graphic novel about one women’s kick ass shoes, cancer and triumph over it all.
From Amazon:
“What happens when a shoe-crazy, lipstick-obsessed, wine-swilling, pasta-slurping, fashion-fanatic, about-to-get-married big-city girl cartoonist with a fabulous life finds . . . a lump in her breast?” That’s the question that sets this powerful, funny, and poignant graphic memoir in motion. In vivid color and with a taboo-breaking sense of humor, Marisa Acocella Marchetto tells the story of her eleven-month, ultimately triumphant bout with breast cancer—from diagnosis to cure, and every challenging step in between.”
A funny and fun look at modern society, technology and redemption.
From Amazon:
“Told with laugh-out-loud humor, spot-on dialogue (including via cameo appearances from Coco Chanel, Gianni Versace, and Jimi Hendrix, to name just a few), and stunning, full-color artwork, Ann Tenna is a timely, necessary tale for our overly “media-cated” times: the newest, much-anticipated adventure from a supremely gifted artist at the height of her powers.”
There are numerous themes running through all Marisa’s work. Humor is always present as Marisa pokes fun at the New York scene, but so is a sense of spirituality and of giving back. Join us on this Bump in the Road.

Ann Ogden Gaffney is a powerhouse when it comes to nutrition and cancer. In addition to her James Beard nominated book, Cook For Your Life, and cooking classes in New York, she created a joint program with Columbia University exploring food, cancer, health and wellness in the Hispanic community.
Ann’s legacy of Cook for Your Life is now run under the auspices of Fred Hutchinson in Seattle, where her work continues.
Ann has survived both kidney and triple negative breast cancer. The experiences radically changed her life. Professionally she went from a global lifestyle in fashion, to the kitchen where she became a James Beard nominated author and chef.
Cook for Your Life
How does one move from fashion to food? This fascinating podcast traces Ann’s start in fashion in Paris. A stay that was supposed to last 12 months lasted 12 years.
“I learned my trade in Paris.
I also learned about food and eating.”
The daily rhythm of celebrating the food of the season, the creativity of using what was at hand, and the tie to the rhythm of the earth became part of her life. When cancer came (twice), this knowledge became invaluable.
Ann is at home in high fashion and in haute cuisine. Her book brings a healthy and approachable path to nourishing one’s body during and after cancer treatment.
