HOW I KILLED MY MOTHER
The latest podcast from Jon-David.
A podcast about guilt, caregiving, forgiveness…and discovering that sometimes surviving your family is the beginning of finding yourself.
How I Killed My Mother is a deeply personal memoir podcast from writer and storyteller Jon-David, author of Mafia Hairdresser and The Glow Stick Gods. How I Killed My Mother is about mothers and sons, complicated family relationships, guilt, grief, forgiveness, and what happens when we finally confront the stories we’ve spent a lifetime telling ourselves.
Despite the title, this isn’t a murder podcast.
It’s the story of a son who spent years believing he was somehow responsible for his mother’s death—and the unexpected journey that followed as he began looking back at their life together, his childhood, her choices, his choices, and the complicated love between them.
In this top fiction podcast, it’s 1984, and Jessy, a young hairdresser in Los Angeles, wants to get rich quick and meets Smokey Topaz, the Chicago mobster who offers him Cars, Coke and VIP Invites to Movie-Star Parties. But this hairdresser must earn his perks by moonlighting for trophy wife, Claire, and her husband, Big-Don, LA’s campy commercial-king for his own chain of auto-repair shops. This original humorous podcast became popular organically by word of mouth!

True stories. Questionable decisions. Fabulous fiction.
Author, storyteller and longtime hairdresser Jon-David turns his own wildly unconventional life into fast, funny and unapologetically LGBTQ fiction.
Mafia Hairdresser takes readers into the cocaine-fueled glamour, crime and excess of the 1980s, where a young hairdresser discovers that getting mixed up with mobsters, movie stars and Hollywood’s beautiful people can be murder.
Its sequel, The Glow Stick Gods, jumps into the 1990s world of Chicago nightlife, circuit parties, raves, Ecstasy and excess—where the party is fabulous, the friendships are complicated, and not everyone makes it home.
Inspired by Jon-David’s real-life adventures, both novels mix crime, comedy, queer history and the kind of stories you could only hear from a hairdresser who was actually there.
Meet the Mafia Hairdresser. Read the books. Then hear the stories come alive on the podcasts.
