On Friday, February 20th, from 6-8 PM, Press Coffee is teaming up with the Death Collective of Eastern Iowa to host a first-of-its-kind "Book Club about a Podcast". The podcast to be discussed, created by Charlie Morris, is called: "Us At Our Worst: A Caregiver’s Unvarnished Account of Cancer & Dementia Care During the Peak of the Covid Pandemic". This podcast got its start in 2024 at Press Coffee, where Charlie edited his caregiver journal and also offered LIVE book readings for dementia caregivers. In 2025, the full 30-episode podcast arc was released. Listen to an episode or two and come to the event with questions for Charlie!

"What happens when your mom gets Stage 4 cancer as she is descending into dementia? How did a filmmaker from North Carolina (USA) end up abandoning their life to move to Virginia (USA) to suddenly take care of that mom? Does it even make sense given his abusive history with her? Trigger warnings all around. Take a listen."
