    Introducing Scattered with Chris Garcia

    Introducing Scattered with Chris Garcia

    Comedian Chris Garcia returns to WNYC Studios with his new podcast Scattered, which was inspired by his first appearance on 2 Dope Queens. Chris’s dad, Andres, was the centerpiece of his comedy act, and when he died two years ago, he had one dying wish: That his family scatter his ashes off the coast of Cuba -- the country he was born in, and the country that would break him. Chris Garcia’s mom? She doesn’t give a crap about dying wishes. She’s vowed to never go back to Cuba again. 
    So for now, the ashes are sitting on a shelf in Chris’s closet, between a Paul McCartney record and a Gizmo Halloween mask. As Chris tries to do right by his dad, he sets out to uncover the truth about a man he barely knew, who survived Castro’s labor camps only to lose his way all over again in search of the American dream.

JUST AMAZING

I started listening to you when I traveled to USA last summer just to visit some American friends and I’m fighting against depression so they recommended me this podcast and you made me laugh even when I was crying and I couldn’t move from my bed so, THANK YOU, really!

P.S: Keep working like that girls! Spanish kisses🥰

I smile at work

I recently discovered this podcast thanks to a Tegan and Sara's recommendation, and I couldn't be happier. This is a hilarious show, with so much talent for funny. Jessica and Phoebe have amazing comic chemistry, and I just can't get enough of them. The guests are incredible, I am discovering a new range of talented comedians. Love the focus on women, black and LGTBQ.

I am from Spain, so you guys are really international :)
