Leah Renee Podcast

Episode three covers:

Why I always wear neon yellow (blame Adam Bloom for breaking my black habit). I went full extreme and now dye thrift store clothes electric chartreuse. It has it's perks like walking by construction workers wearing the same color, locking eyes and giving each other a solemn nod like we served in Vietnam together.

The Arthurian legend of Sir Gawain and Dame Ragnell Don't let the "dame" title fool you, she's what they'd call in Philly "a ratchet ass ho". I also defend Mitt Romney's "Binder full of women".

Motherhood and scissors: "To have a child is to not know where your scissors are at all times."

My OCD counting tick: For as long as I can remember, I have silently counted how long things take when I'm stressed or feel late. Having shows booked creates a permanent timer in my brain that will not be disabled.

The Ira Glass "gap": This podcast may be "hot steamy garbage for maybe four people" but it has to be that way. It is the law.

I describe Edinburgh Fringe venue selections: Cowgate is "lots of broken glass and puddles of piss and puke," versus Bristow Square which is "a bit nicer."

I come to the realization that Dame Ragnell and I have come to the same conclusion that all ladies want is their own she shed.

Episode Two!

This podcast covers events too controversial for news outlets to cover, like the Australian Bubble Man who made a potentially fatal and rookie mistake.

Leah talks about parasocial relationships and whether or not she has one with Rhys Darby. Whether or not she has a purity or innocence complex.

Why do people on social media want to know what I had for breakfast or what the green room at the Chuckle Hut looks like?

Why comedians resent actors and why they are expected to spill the tea in today's shamelessly voyeuristic society.

Jungian analysis by the great Lisa Marchiano and understanding why comedy works from the great Adam Bloom in his landmark book, Finding Your Comic Genius.

Drinks in the round.

Edinburgh Fringe.

Face mics.

From life after leaving Mormonism, to relentless hope, Leah once again evaluates topics like vending machine Jesus, clipboard God, and feeling empathy for vacuum robots.

Episode 1: Beginner's Enthusiasm

A stream-of-consciousness jaunt about comedy, creativity, capitalism and the unforgiving internet.

Leah talks about Steve Martin's autobiography Born Standing Up, being a multi-faceted creative in the age of algorithms, and her fantasies about body swapping with David Sedaris.

She grumps about wanky TED talkers who like the smell their own farts.

Brian Regan's OCD.

My Instagram story that got me 5X the normal amount of views because s*x sells.

No episode would be complete without processing feelings around what it feels like to leave Mormonism and her new ex-Mormon comedy show Best Cult Ever coming to Edinburgh Fringe.
