What happens when a life-changing diagnosis forces you to rethink everything and find new reasons for hope? On this episode of “The Follow-Up,” Sag Harbor’s Andrea Grover shares her journey of months of unexplained muscle weakness followed by a devastating diagnosis of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig’s disease, earlier this year at the Mayo Clinic. Grover opens up about the shock of the diagnosis, the promising gene therapy she’s receiving for her rare genetic form of the disease, and the power of self-advocacy, friendship and community. She also discusses how the experience has reshaped her perspective on leadership, vulnerability and life itself — and why she’s turning to stand-up comedy to face the challenge with humor. It’s an extraordinary conversation about confronting the unknown, holding on to hope and finding laughter in the most unexpected places.

Legendary filmmaker John Waters found fame in the 1970s and 1980s with a series of campy and totally outrageous films, including “Pink Flamingos,” “Polyester” and “Hairspray,” among others. Known as the “Pope of Trash,” this Baltimore native is a hero in underground cult cinema circles. Late July brought Waters and his one-man show, “Going to Extremes” to Guild Hall. In advance of that show, Waters, who turned 80 in April, took part in a free-ranging phone conversation with the Express News Group’s Annette Hinkle and Guild Hall’s executive director Andrea Grover, an avid fan of Waters’ work. Fortunately, it was recorded, and in this episode of “The Follow Up,” you’ll get to hear that interview, because when it comes to John Waters, delivery is everything.
