    Ron Bennington joins me on today's episode to talk about interview style and his series Unmasked. Ron is someone whose style of interviewing I've always admired, it seemed fitting to have him on this episode.

    Moving Day with Andy Haynes

    Moving Day with Andy Haynes

    Andy Haynes came in to talk to me about his job as a mover. He became a mover the day he moved to New York and was doing it throughout the pandemic. It turns out lots of comics do it because of the flexibility and cash under the table. Plus you get a pretty good workout.

Derek in Finland ,

not just another comedian interviewing comedians...

Yes, Ari is a comic and most of his guests are comics, but the concept is very unique - he finds something interesting about each guest that is different and interesting and often non-comedy-related (interesting past jobs, special skills, awkward personality traits, etc) and they discuss it with humour. Not just another “comics talking about doing stand-up comedy” podcast!

Nothing original

Another podcast of a Jewish comedian interviewing (mostly) other comedians, how many are there? At least Ari is brutally honest about everything and makes his guests open up and reveal something about themselves too. The lives of his interviewees (mostly comedians) often seem to be quite dark and miserable. I seldom laugh when listening to this podcast.
