Take your brain for a walk

I’ve always been fascinated by how comedians develop their material, but this podcast is so much more than just hearing comedians workshop new stuff. I love how willing Mike and his guests are so willing to let their “brains go for a walk” and see where things go. The slow round questions lead to fascinating stories, but they also provide great insight into the creative process, in general. Finally, I love that the format works equally well even if I’m not familiar with Mike’s guest. I’ve enjoyed the episodes with some of my favorites like David Sedaris and Tig Notaro, but I’ve truly appreciated getting exposed to new (to me) comics like Jacqueline Novak and Sam Jay. I’ve told friends. I’ve told enemies. Thanks for the wonderful distraction during the pandemic, Mike!
