🎙️ What’s Goin’ On Podcast | Joel Dorian – From Page to Stage

In this episode, I sit down with author and comedian Joel Dorian to talk about the overlap between writing and stand-up, finding your voice creatively, and why some stories only work when you’re honest enough to make people uncomfortable.

We get into Joel’s journey as both a writer and a comic, how storytelling changes depending on the medium, and what it’s like turning personal experiences into something people actually want to read — or laugh at. It’s thoughtful, funny, and the kind of conversation that slowly sneaks up on deeper topics without feeling forced.

If you like comedy with substance, writers who aren’t afraid to be vulnerable, and conversations that feel more like a late-night hang than an interview, this one’s worth your time.
