From the Last Day Podcast: Meet Steph, Meet Harris

Show by Zac Clark
Recently, I had Stephanie Wittels Wachs on The Zac Clark Show, and our conversation left me wanting to go back to the beginning of her story. Steph’s brother, Harris, was a brilliant comedian and writer whose life was ultimately taken by addiction. In this episode of Last Day, Steph shares the story of Harris, her family, and the early experiences that shaped how she came to understand addiction and eventually dedicate so much of her life to talking about it. The episode also features conversations with Sarah Silverman and Aziz Ansari, who worked alongside Harris on The Sarah Silverman Program and Master of None, respectively. Both were friends of Harris, and their memories offer a personal glimpse into the man behind the comedy and the impact he had on those who knew him. After hearing Steph today, revisiting this conversation feels especially powerful. It’s a reminder that addiction isn’t just a diagnosis or a statistic. It’s a story about people, families, grief, love, and the search for understanding. If you listened to my recent conversation with Steph, this is the story that came before it. And if you’re meeting Steph for the first time, start here.
