The actress and comedian, known for her roles in 'Marcel the Shell with Shoes On' and 'Parks and Recreation,' brings her signature blend of whimsy and introspection to this unique exploration of what it means to be alive.

Throughout the six-hour listening experience, Slate's narration carries listeners through a series of interconnected essays that examine everything from the miracle of photosynthesis to the simple joy of watching a cat sleep in a sunbeam. Her characteristic high-pitched voice and infectious enthusiasm make even the most philosophical passages feel accessible and intimate.
