Alana Johnston is in the studio for today's episode of Steph Infection! Steph and Alana have a heart to heart about Susan the Golden, Alana quitting comedy to produce and write for the Junos, the perils of doing morning radio as a comedian, Alana being caught in the background of live TV, and not being able to understand age-gap relationships. How an abnormal pap turned into yearly surgeries, and Alana finding out the hard way only real friends will be there for you during health emergencies.
