Pete Holmes
So this is new! My talk with comedian, actor and podcaster Pete Holmes, who stars in a brand-new comedy that just premiered on CBS called How We Roll, was taped live in front of a hotel (and livestreamed) audience! You'll hear a lot about that, plus Pete's very grounded and well-earned life strategies and philosophies, his stand-up comedy, his HBO series Crashing, and his podcast, You Made It Weird.
You'll also hear people! Plus a sneeze or two. And a few "bless yous."
Enjoy the ride.

Salvatore Esposito is back!
NEW! SaSa and I are back with a new talk. I've been telling you to watch Gomorrah for years. It's one of the best TV series ever - suspenseful, smart, sophisticated. But in the US, it's been hard to find. Now it's back - thank you, HBO Max! - and I get to sit down with the lead actor, Salvatore Esposito.
Salvatore isn't just the lead in Gomorrah (he plays Gennaro, aka Genny, Savastano). He's also a highlight of this season of Fargo (another great show), playing Gaetano Fadda, who you won't easily forget.
So! My talks with Salvatore go down in the books, for me, as some of my favorites. They're fun. And real.
And they're in English! You'd never guess from seeing him on Gomorrah that he speaks this beautifully.
We talk:
Gomorrah Season 5 finale Ciro de Marzio family love relationships life lessons struggles Naples, Rome, New York, Los Angeles, Texas, New Orleans learning English learning Italian words like mozzarella and grazie tourist traps HBO Max being a good person Links!

Customer Reviews
Good stuff
I really dig what Kara is doing. So many times interviewers don’t dig deep and ask questions that are typical. Kara let’s the guest put their hair down and breaks down the celebrity shell and let’s them be human. Keep pushing Kara.
Comfortable.
The Louie Anderson interviews are really, really good. I’m just getting in to her work, and I’m excited. ☮️❤️
Enough of Debi M
One interview with Debi Mazar was highly entertaining. The second made me stop listening and hit delete, for the first time ever on this podcast, which I typically enjoy. Generally, it’s only as good as the guest.
