  • One of my faves

    I listen every week and love hearing from comedians about the various aspects of what they do. It’s usually relevant not only to other comics but to folks in any field, creative or otherwise.

  • Perfect Premise

    I think this podcast brings to light the human side of comedy. There is a universality in the fear of failure and something equally comforting in hearing other people’s tales of getting through it. It makes you realize that failure is not permanent, not eternal. Life goes on. Also the guests are comedians, so it’s funny.
