    Olga Namer

    Olga Namer

    Doug welcomes comedian and former Orthodox Jew Olga Namer to the show! As the black sheep of her devout family, she still serves as an asset, flipping light switches and changing channels for her parents on Shabbat. Her attempts to embrace life on the outside are peppered with all the guilt, shame and fear of a sheltered upbringing, but Doug encourages her to lean into the rebellion with a little shoplifting.

    Kevin James Doyle

    Kevin James Doyle

    Doug welcomes friend and fellow comic, the solo show aficionado himself, Kevin James Doyle to the show! A product of a squeaky clean Christian upbringing, Kevin abstained from immorality (nuthin' but butt stuff 'till the age of 30) in an effort to save himself for marriage. When his bride-to-be breaks his heart he rebounds with a foreign straphanger, only to endure an outbreak so vicious, there was no doubt it was retribution from above. Make sure to check out all 3 of Kevin’s new specials dropping in 2024!

    Doug Gets Converted

    Doug Gets Converted

    Doug welcomes a real live Christian pastor to the show! Pastor Caleb Clardy from Trinity Grace Church in Brooklyn, NY explains what makes a church non-denominational, why he isn’t covered in bad tattoos, and how some righteous merch might rope in some newcomers. He even entices Doug to attend a service with the promise of a post-sermon dodgeball game and an artisanal pickle from the neighboring farmers market.

Makes you laugh & cry

Love a podcast that isn’t scared to get deep. Each guest brings something different to the table but with a common theme of hardship and triumph. Doug is a fantastic interviewer with super interesting stories of his own!

Great Guests. Amazing Conversations

Doug is an excellent interviewer and host. He treads carefully through difficult topics with his guests while making sure the mood never gets too heavy. As a fan of comedy, I love hearing some familiar guests talk about their lives in a way they wouldn’t on any other podcast. I also love being introduced to new comedians and performers. Doug has stated that he wants this podcast to help people through difficult times and show people there is brightness on the other side of trauma and tragedy. I am certain that this podcast will do exactly that for many. His personal stories are simultaneously heartbreaking and hilarious. I highly recommend this podcast for comedy fans and anyone struggling with trauma, tragedy or simply looking for inspiration in a world of uncertainty.
