Come listen to this hug of a conversation with the darling and wildly talented Daphne Overbeck, who talks family, self-discovery, compassion and art… all the while being simply hilarious and inclusive! So go ahead, sink into that tiramisu!

Ellie Hino
Do not hesitate to jump into this listen with human delight comedian Ellie Hino (Soft Bones), who helps JV fully comprehend the world of water parks in the Wisconsin Dells, plus lots of teen-times overlap between these new fast friends. Oh, and Ellie is just the right amount of flamboyant (see episode for details)!!

Katherine Finstuen

Customer Reviews
Not just for Chicks.
Attention Blokes!! Quickly read the description of this podcast. Sounds awful? WRONG!!! Feel like you'd rather watch Mama Mia!! You're way off. Janet Varney is amazingly funny, sharp and sweet. There's some girly stuff but every single episode I've found fascinating, hilarious and well worth my time. Start with Kiwi Melanie Lynskey, and then listen to them all. And be richer for it.
This podcast is great
I know Janet Varney from the Never Not Funny podcast. In the JV Club, she interviews various actresses and entertainers about the childhoods. Poignant, very funny and sensitively handled always. I recommend this podcast to all!
