  • For strong brains only

    Relevant and insightful commentary in a landscape that consists of mostly washed up personalities doing a rewatch recap of their own show or something equally disenchanting and empty. It’s funny and nice too and I like that they do crafts.

  • A look at upcoming comedians

    Benny has been getting a lot of notice on Twitter and TikTok, and is paying it forward by introducing his growing fan base to his diverse circle of comedy friends. These are the kids who will be big in a few years, so it’s interesting to hear where they’re coming from (the Michael Hirsch ep has a great discussion on the evolving tastes of audiences in recent years).
