Tiff Stevenson and her good friend Sara Pascoe - comedian, actor, author - have a wide ranging discussion on whether comedy can be a force for social change, how to use the special powers that comedy has, and how not to misuse them. Amongst other things (Louis CK and why dairy is disgusting*) They talk about the importance of being aware of your own blind spot, in comedy as well as life in general. Trigger-wise there is some pretty deep stuff in here in particular - sexual assault, racism and sexism.
