It's been 2 years since LST ended and now Hillary has a new show! Here Lies Me is dramedy about middle school for teen and adult fans of PEN15 and Big Mouth. Listen to an excerpt (plus a special message from Hillary) right here!

Let's just say this one's inspired by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince.

*Note: there is some cursing in this episode ? and some talk about the tooth fairy ? so you might not want to listen with your kids.*

This is the last episode of The Longest Shortest Time! But it isn't really goodbye. Hillary is cooking up something new, probably a project about middle school. To keep in touch with Hillary and find out what's next, sign up for her newsletter and follow her on Instagram and Twitter.
