It's just me! :O I wanted to slow things down and mix up content a bit. I updated a bit on plans for the podcast as I wait a little longer for more people to be vaccinated and try to do more in-person interviews. In this episode I talked about not quite feeling up to going to see outdoor standup yet, some specials I watched recorded in the pandemic, and talked about an academic article defining standup comedy's social function at the height of the '80s comedy boom. I'm hoping to catch up with some past guests to talk about their first stage time back at it as outdoor shows have picked up quite a bit here in Los Angeles.
The book I ordered and hope to talk more about by Kliph Nesteroff is We Had a Little Real Estate Problem: The Unheralded Story of Native Americans & Comedy (https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/We-Had-a-Little-Real-Estate-Problem/Kliph-Nesteroff/9781982103033)
Thanks for listening!
1. Always punch up
2. Keep swinging
3. Get vaccinated and shame stupid comedians for using their gigantic platform to spread ignorance of science and lack of empathy for the society that built them.
