Hope you enjoy my conversation with super star Allison Silverman from Employee of the Month's live show in Los Angeles at UCB. Allison Silverman has written for The Office, Portlandia, The Colbert Report, where she was also the head writer, as well as The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and Late Night with Conan O'Brien. She has also contributed to This American Life and The New Yorker. Most important, she knows someone who knows Julian Assange too well.

EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH (EOTM) is a talk show about work, jobs and labor. I wanted to hear from folks with some of the best jobs in the world. It’s why I interview (and award) these special snowflakes. That said, even if you love your job, you may not be eligible for the prestigious EMPLOYEE of the MONTH award. For example, dictators, most politicians, and parking ticket officers are ineligible.
