  • Let Them Talk!

    Tried to listen to the Kristin Kish episode. I walked away. I think she spoke maybe 30% of the whole time allotted to her. That’s too bad, she’s a smart, fun and super interesting person. So is Kamau but you have got to give your guests some space.

  • More Kamau=more nuance

    Glad he is finding ways to amplify the voices We need to hear! Perhaps he could consider having Hari Kondabolu on for like, a few episodes or maybe as cohost?! Just a random idea.

  • The funny activist

    W. Kamau is one of my favorite comedians. From his standup album “Semi-prominent Negro” to his former podcast with Hari Kondabolu, his warm personality is like friend you’d love to have

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ted Danson on Comedy with a Conscience
Q: Do you know mutual aid, and how is it different from simply writing a check?
Mutual aid is about directly supporting people in your community by giving them the means to help themselves, such as delivering groceries or funding urgent needs, rather than just donating to a larger organization.
Ted Danson on Comedy with a Conscience
Q: Okay, what is Substack?
Substack is a newsletter platform that has become a home for journalists and writers who want to publish directly to readers, allowing Kamau to continue doing work independently after traditional outlets, like CNN, paused their spaces.
