With her work with AAF, Winstead has taken her satirical brilliance one step further, combining it with her passion for reproductive rights to expose anti choice hypocrisy and inspiring a whole new model of activism.  In an interview with NPR, Winstead talked about growing up without seeing enough women comedians on television. “I didn't see any women on television doing stand up unless they were older women like Totie Fields or Joan Rivers, and so I didn't see anyone like me. It was either men in suits talking about what men in suits talk about, or women, if they were older, talking about how much their husbands disappointed them and sort of the level that their boobs had sunk to on their body. That was a very popular thing to talk about for a lot of comedians back in the day. And so it wasn't until I was watching George Carlin one night with a girlfriend of mine and she said why don't you try that? And I said I don't know. Do you think I could? And she said why not?” Winstead grew up in Minneapolis in a conservative Catholic family, the youngest of five children. She currently lives in Brooklyn NY, and continues to tour the country doing stand up in support of abortion rights.

“It’s not usually this crazy,” Lizz Winstead apologizes, greeting me at the door of her Brooklyn apartment alongside two overstimulated dogs. Inside, a small staff helping prepare Lady Parts Justice for its upcoming launch. The site is the latest in a long line of projects that straddle the sometimes treacherous line between comedy and politics.  Winstead’s impressive CV includes co-founding both The Daily Show and the since-departed left-wing radio station Air America, on which she co-hosted a program with Chuck D. and then relatively unknown politics wonk named Rachel Maddow.  In the wake of a series of standup shows throughout the midwest, the comedian opted to focus her political efforts on a primary political cause — on that has been at the forefront of a number of recent news cycles due primarily to unfortunate turns of events. Built with the help of a recent Indiegogo campaign, Lady Parts Justice aims to sign light on the struggles of reproductive rights through a series of well-produced, star-studded comedy videos and some cold, hard facts. It’s an issue that’s been at the front of Winstead’s activism since the product of a conservative midwestern upbringing found herself at an abortion clinic at age 17, an experience she writes about at length in her 2012 essay collection, Lizz Free for Die. We grabbed a couple of chairs coated in dog fur to discuss the cross section of politics and comedy and how some funny YouTube videos might some day effect change.

Lizz Winstead stopped by this episode of Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend to talk about her book, Lizz Free or Die, whether she's intimidating, giving blow jobs to loners, politics, stand up comedy, creating The Daily Show, Air America, dogs, dog poop, working on The Man Show, traveling tips, that thing that Adam Carolla said about women in comedy and so much more. We also did a round of Just Me Or Everyone

Women Who Have Led Intriguing Lives is the subject of The Halli Casser-Jayne Show, Talk Radio for Fine Minds, Wednesday, April 17, 3 pm ET when Halli welcomes three fascinating women of substance: Lizz Winstead, Lila Garrett and Cynthia Helms. Lizz Winstead is one of the giants of American comedy, a woman who has had an enormous influence on today's popular culture. She dreamed up a new satirical genre on television when she created The Daily Show in 1996. She was a co-founder of the Air America radio network, and gave Rachel Maddow her first national audience. The woman is amazing, as is her book Lizz Free or Die, the paperback edition out May 7th. From wartime England to Nixon's America and beyond, Cynthia Helms was witness to some of the seminal moments of our time. She had a front row seat as the wife of Richard M. Helms, the director of intelligence for the United States. Her supporting cast: Nancy and Ronald Reagan, Sandra Day O'Conner, Kay Graham, Pamela Harriman the Shah of Iran, Paul McCartney, her life story chronicled in her candid new memoir, An Intriguing Life. Lila Garrett, Emmy award-winning writer, director, and producer has lent her prodigious talents to television since her tenure as an interviewer on the early 1960s Johnny Carson–hosted game show Who Do You Trust?. In the years that followed, she has written for such programs as Bewitched, All in the Family, Maude, Get Smart, Diff'rent Strokes, and The Nanny, My Favorite Martian, The Courtship of Eddie's Father. Barbra Streisand's political firebrand Katie in the classic film The Way We Were was inspired by the politically-minded Garrett currently the host of the radio program Connect the Dots for the Pacifica Network. Tune in to The Halli Casser-Jayne Show for Talk Radio for Fine Minds.

You can't windsurf, because that would be elitist. But, if you're the American president, you can drive around your ranch in a golf cart shooting guns, because people can relate to that.  As comedian and writer Lizz Winstead explains it, sometimes there is no debate possible if we don't agree on fundamental and proven facts.  Over the past few months Lizz has been promoting her book "Lizz Free or Die" and travelling around the United States to see what people are doing and what they think about politics or life in general. Having written for several memorable television programs which includes having co-created The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Lizz can tell you thing or two about what is good and what is bad about politics and media in the United States.By chance, I ran into her at a conference in Sweden earlier this month and spent a few afternoons having excellent discussions, such as this one featured in today's podcast.

Yams! This last Tuesday, Lizz Winstead, creator of The Daily Show, founder of Air America Radio and author of Lizz Free or Die; David Rees, author of Get Your War On and How to Sharpen Pencils; and Carl Newman of The New Pornographers joined us for a fantastically fun episode taped live at UCB East. Beginnzers, buckle your hearing-enjoyment nodules to your skull 'cause this a real barn-burner as we get in deep about The Shaggs, Paul McCartney and vaginal teeth. Hakuna dentata, friends! (also, next live episode is October 9th, 8pm, UCB East - we'd love to see you there!)
