Kill Me Now with Judy Gold
452 episodes - English - Latest episode: 16 days ago - ★★★★★ - 1.1K ratingsKILL ME NOW is a weekly podcast hosted by award winning comedian and writer, Judy Gold. Judy takes a deep dive into her guests’ backgrounds to find out what makes them who they are today. Often, a guest will ask, “How did you find that out? I never talked about that before.” Judy digs in to get at the root of who people are — and since Judy always seems to be pissed-off about something, she ends her interviews with the question, What makes you say, “Kill Me Now?” Judy and her guests vent with wit, humor, and passion while you laugh your ass off!
