    Cults (Ziwe Fumudoh)

    The third and final installment of Paperweight features none other than Ziwe Fumudoh! She and the crew talk all things CULTS. We’ve got sister-wives. We’ve got Scientology. We’ve got… “The Real Housewives.” Yes, it counts! Ziwe performs all over New York, created “Baited With Ziwe” for Above Average, and wrote for the brilliant political comedy show “The Rundown” on BET.

    Maritime (James Folta)

    Sarah, Emilie, Keelin, and Paul are joined by genius humor writer James Folta to talk about the ocean. Pirates? We got ‘em. Sea anemones? Check. An illicit love affair with a body of water? Absolutely. Read James’ work in The New Yorker, McSweeney’s, and lots of other places.

    Teens (Maeve Higgins)

    Brilliant writer and comedian Maeve Higgins joins Paperweight to talk about our nation’s most angsty demo: teens. She shares a chilling tale from her youth, Emilie imagines a day in the life of a teenage girl in Ancient Greece, and Keelin doles out advice for those of us struggling to befriend goblins. Check out Maeve’s podcast “Mothers of Invention” and buy her book “Maeve in America: Essays by a Girl from Somewhere Else.” She’s an inspiration.
