Broccoli and Ice Cream

Renata Tutko is an old friend. And a young friend. An ageless friend. I don't know what year she was born, but I have been friends with her for a long time. Since we started doing comedy. She is a wonderful being, doing, comedian-ing, poet-ing, writer-ing, and better-grammar-than-this-ing. And what about the sonnet series? Listen! If you like. Love!

Jaffer Khan is a comedian, friend, former teacher, current teacher in a different way, always learner like all of us, and more! Listen to me learn things from him about him and also politics.

Negin Farsad is a multi-hyphenate of a very high order. A comedian, an author, a director, an actor, a podcaster, a friend, a human, all kinds of people and things (and maybe places). Thanks for being in THIS place and listening. Enjoy! As desired. The end. For now. No more reading here.

Joe Zimmerman is a fantastic comedian, human, and friend. He is normal to weirdos and weird to normos. He talks about all of it. What is it? What is all? Thanks for listening to find it all out. Enjoy!

Emmy Blotnick is a super friend, writer, comedian, and more. We talk about therapy and also other things but aren't those things also therapy? Maybe? No? Yes? How does it make you feel? Enjoy! (I hope it makes you feel "enjoy.")

Matty Litwack is a super funny comedian and super nice friend. Some day he may have an hour of comedy all about bananas. Please enjoy these metaphorical bananas as you wish.

Julia Wertz is a cartoonist and a friend and more. She was a cartoonist BEFORE she was my friend. (I don't know how long she's been "more.") I bought her books before I knew her. Now I know her. It's pretty fun. Thanks, world! Her comics are cool and she is fun to talk to. Enjoy listening, and thanks!

Chris Duffy is my friend. That's all he asked me to plug. He also writes for Wyatt Cenac's Problem Areas on HBO and has his own show called You're the Expert and sends nice emails to an opt-in mailing list you can join at his website called "Three Things," but he didn't ask me to tell you any of that so I won't. Enjoy this chat with my friend!

Katie Barbaro is a comedian, a cartoonist, a cast-podder, and more. She casts a pod called "Showing Up Messy," and she shares some of her mess here. A whole mess of it. She's also a very tidy person. We all contain multitudes. Hope your multitudes enjoy these multitudes.

Tristan Miller is a kind human, a comedian, an actor, and someone who discusses the relationship between mental health and the creative temperament in his podcast, "Positive and Negative." Who knows what we'll discuss here! (You will. Soon. Thanks!)

Nina Daniels is a busy human. She acts, she does comedy, she plays cello, an unconventional triple threat! Happy to have her as a guest and friend. Enjoy what happens in your ears, now and always.

Stuart Goldsmith is a new friend that now feels like an old friend. I met him this year at the Edinburgh Fringe Fest, where he's performing for the 25th year in a row, doing his 8th one-hour show. It's called "End Of" and it's fantastic. His podcast "The Comedian's Comedian" is also super. Listen to it, after you listen to all of my podcasts forever, if you want. The choice is yours!

Helen Crimmins is a new friend, a professional photographer, an animal lover, a soon-to-be published book creator, and so much more. She speaks to me here about her life and work, and also the life that she shared with the recently departed Barry Crimmins, a beloved comedy legend and friend as well.

Christian Finnegan is a comedian and actor and writer and all kinds of creator and human and friend. I've seen him on the Good Wife which I love, and Chappelle's Show which I love, and now on this podcast which I love. I'm the only one who SEES him on this podcast, because for you it is audio only. Enjoy! Thank you!

Alice Fraser is a comedian, podcaster, Australian, and (among many more things) a friend who is currently performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Fest right now (August 2018), as am I. This conversation was recorded there (here)! If you're anywhere near Scotland, come on by and see our shows. And wherever you are, thanks for listening. It will be just like you were/are there/here. (Space/time is complex to discuss/live in. We talk about it! Enjoy!)
