WHAT'S NEXT with Emma Arnold

My apologies to Olivia for how long this one took to edit, it's such a good listen! Olivia Cathcart is an incredible comedian and writer, her articles on Paste are brave, hilarious, and no bullshit. She's one of the few people in standup willing to take on the real issues of the industry. Plus I love her reviews of tv and movies so much! We talked comedy, sexism, and  what makes good television.

This episode is so wonderful, it warmed me up and got me ready for summer! Open Mike Eagle is one of my favorite people and we dug deep into grief, creativity, divorce, and parenting. This is the last of the "exploring the afterlife" series, very excited for what's next!

This one was such a delight! Irene Tu is one of the funniest people in comedy and I just absolutely love everything about her. We talk laser shows, the joy of complaining, and being not-horny after covid.

I love Bri Pruett so much and it was such a treat getting to chat with her for this week’s WHAT’S NEXT! Just an absolute radiant star and hilarious comic, be sure to check out her podcast You Can Do It with Bri Pruett (I did an episode and it was a delight).

If you've enjoyed my albums, it's in no small part thanks to this week's guest! Janae Burris has been kind enough to open for me before every recording and she's one of the funniest people with whom I've ever worked. An immense talent and absolute joy, we talked about anxiety, a healthy fear of death, and her experience growing up Pentecostal.

If you don't yet know of Sean White, go buy his albums immediately. A tornado of talent and a truly lovely guy to boot, Sean and I talked legacy, control, and taking things apart. <3

Mike Carrozza is one of my dearest friends and truly a walking, talking ray of sunshine. We talked love, speaking French, and elation. This is a very sweet and fun one. <3 Listening to it for the edit made my day all over again. Buy his new album, Cherubic!

Clark Jones is a Los Angeles based professional stand-up comedian and former teacher who has appeared on Season 2 of HBO’s Crashing and Night Train with Wyatt Cenac. He has hosted  Comedy at the Knitting Factory for four years after taking it over from Hannibal Buress. We talked comedy, grief, and masculinity.

This was a fun one, Valerie Tosi is a dear friend and it was such a delight to catch up with her. Just the sound of her voice makes me smile. That Boston accent! Hope you enjoy it!

Our first guest of 2021 is Allen Strickland Williams. He has a Comedy Central half-hour and is the most hilarious, stylish, adorably devilish man in comedy. Allen and I talk vasectomies, trauma-bonding, and melatonin.
