My guest is JD Lopez — a stand-up comedian & the host of ‘Left Hand Right Brain’ — his podcast that he started in 2013 has accumulated over 300 episodes with guests from all walks of life. Follow him on social @lefthandrightbrain

We discussed his early influences, how his love for radio led to pursuing broadcasting school, how smaller schools give you better access to equipment & accelerated learning than mid-sized programs, and learning the art of the conversation.  

How did dating an improver lead JD to try comedy for his first time?  

Where might stand-up go next in terms of new methods & styles?  

Will anyone flip past the cover of Sean’s book or is it doomed to flop?  

No promises of answers to the bigger & more important questions we explore, but I assure you JD guides me more than I could guide him.  He is the Denver Pod-father though, so maybe I should be honored to be ‘Soned’. 

We brainstorm how to break down the resistance between political echo chambers to help Americans better understand one another.  Again, no promises of meaningful answers.
