Guest host Hari Kondabolu with Hannah Gadsby and more!
Hari Kondabolu
Stepping in for Kurt Andersen this week, guest host Hari Kondabolu, the stand-up comic, gets the hour started with fellow comic Hannah Gadsby. They discuss the success (and blowback) from Gadsby’s Netflix special last year, “Nanette,” her new show, “Douglas” that she is currently touring around the world, and her hilariously surreal encounter with Jennifer Anniston. Then Hari bravely reveals how in the mid-’90s, when all of his buddies were watching action movies, he at 14 was secretly obsessing over a romantic drama, “Untamed Heart.” Finally, Hari closes with a conversation with Sophia Chang, who has a new audio-only memoir on Audible about her remarkable career in hip hop and her decades-long friendship with the Wu-Tang Clan.
