Professor Jo Littler, from Goldsmiths College, joins Katie in the Sociology Staffroom to discuss her research into representations of working-class women in comedy: a must for anyone teaching the media topic, but a great listen for the rest of us too.

This week on the show, the ladies (@jackiekashian and @anylaurie16) debate whether to quit a book. Are you getting what you paid for by finishing it, or are you paying twice if you finish a book you hated? Plus, they are horrified by young men who are forced into cockfighting, literally. Plus, can you fathom the horror of watching improv for HOURS?! Subscribe to the podcast, and give it a 5-star rating and review to help the show move up the charts.

【聊了什么The What】 这一期小蓝和一芳请来友台「大波福娃」的酸酸和小苕，一起聊 HBO Max 黑色喜剧《绝望写手 Hacks》：一部从 2021 年播到今年 6 月大结局、拿下 14 座艾美奖的剧集。故事讲的是拉斯维加斯驻场的过气传奇喜剧女演员 Deborah Vance，和一个被行业封杀的 25 岁新人写手 Ava Daniels，如何从针锋相对到成为彼此的创作搭档、伴侣和挚友。我们四个女的从追剧节奏聊起，一路谈到脱口秀创作的真实体验、女性做喜剧要付出的代价、Deborah 与 Ava 之间说不清的关系（老板员工？母女？浪漫爱？），最后落到全剧真正想问的问题：一个创作者要如何被这个世界记住。 This episode Izzy and Yifang brought on Suan and Shao from our sister show DatBeauvoir to talk about the HBO Max dark comedy Hacks, which ran from 2021 to its finale this past June and picked up 14 Emmys along the way. The show follows Deborah Vance, a washed-up legendary comedian doing a residency in Las Vegas, and Ava Daniels, a 25-year-old writer who's been blacklisted by the industry, and how they go from sworn enemies to creative partners, life partners, and each other's closest confidantes. The four of us talk about everything from our binge-watching habits to what it's really like to write stand-up (Suan and Shao both have brilliant sets,) what women in comedy have to sacrifice, and the relationship between Deborah and Ava that defies easy labels (boss and employee? mother and daughter? something closer to romance?) and finally landing on the question the whole show is really asking: how does a creator get remembered by the world? 【本期嘉宾 Our guests:】 小苕 (it/its)：一个擅长端盘子的骄傲土豆 酸酸(she/her)：一包先酸后甜的绿色彩虹糖 Shao (it/its): A potato with Chinese characteristics.

Sarah Tiana on Bourbon, the Boys Club of Comedy, and the Joke She Won't Tell Yet   Actress, stand up comedian, host, broadcaster, and self described baseball fanatic Sarah Tiana joins Drinking During Business Hours over Blackland Bourbon. Hosts Sarah Halstead and Rich Chassler get her take on the one drink she has before every set to loosen up, why she happily takes the opening spot at the Comedy Store, and how marriage and motherhood completely reshuffled her material.    Sarah opens up about growing up between a cow pasture and a sheep farm in Calhoun, Georgia after a Northern California start, the famous college radio station that turned a journalism major into a joke teller, DJing weddings and bar mitzvahs before comedy called, and the Pepperidge Farm dad who turned down the big job to coach her softball team.    Rich shares what it was really like coming up with Mitch Hedberg, Sarah talks about starting comedy in a class with Tom Segura, Anthony Jeselnik, and Christina Pazsitzky, and the three of them get into how Daniel Tosh, Jeselnik, and Bobby Lee quietly protected women in comedy, Chelsea Handler's advice to go be funny and leave, Mitzi Shore's blonde waitress rule, the six year grind to finally get passed at the Comedy Store, and the perfect storm of podcasts, Uber, and Dave Chappelle that made the Store the center of the comedy world again.   Guest Info   Sarah Tiana is a comedian, writer, actress, and sports commentator. A Roast Battle runner up at the Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal on Comedy Central, she was a writer for Netflix's The Roast of Tom Brady, a regular on Chelsea Lately and @midnight, a writer for The Josh Wolf Show on CMT, and a correspondent on The Soup Investigates. She played Carmen on Reno 911, wrote for the ESPY Awards and the Rob Riggle NFL segments on FOX, and has done over a dozen comedy tours for the troops. Her stand up special 44, taped live at the World Famous Comedy Store, is on YouTube, and you can now catch her on ESPN's women's sports coverage every Thursday. Raised in Calhoun, Georgia, she has been a working comedian in Los Angeles since 2003.   Guest Social Links   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahtiana/ X / Twitter: https://x.com/sarahtiana Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sarahtianafanclub/ Special 44 on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ArqsXiBzOU Drink of the Podcast   Blackland Bourbon, made in Fort Worth, Texas.

This week celebrated comedian, Sophie Garrad from UK, joins me to share how she transformed her past and turned trauma, endometriosis, and big feelings into a one-woman award winning sell-out Edinburgh Fringe show, and garnered over 100M TikTok views online. We discuss women in comedy, the mind-body connection, therapy, EMDR, and using humour to heal. We also explore: * What it's really like being a woman in comedy, safety, and being taken seriously * How Sophie unlearned male-centred comedy rules to find her own authentic female voice * The mind-body connection: back pain, acne, stress, and stored trauma * The role of therapy, EMDR, and journaling in healing and creativity * Navigating social media, reviews, and competition in a tough industry * Advice for shy, sensitive, or ambitious creatives who secretly want to perform.

Hey, Heal Squad! We have one of the funniest women in comedy in the studio today….Whitney Cummings! You know her as the creator and star of Whitney, 2 Broke Girls, and the host of the hit podcast Good For You. But today, you're getting a side of Whitney you don't see very often. She kicks things off by sharing the incredibly sweet reason she's admired Maria for years (seriously...it had us all emotional on Maria's birthday!), and from there, the conversation goes everywhere…but in the best way possible.We dive into motherhood after 40, postpartum depression, ADHD, anxiety, Hollywood's impossible beauty standards, female insecurities, navigating the overwhelming wellness world, even Spencer Pratt (yeah, somehow he gets into the convo!). Whitney is as hilarious as you'd expect, but she's also incredibly thoughtful and vulnerable, sharing the ways that helped her heal from childhood trauma and embrace this next chapter of life. It's funny, raw, validating, and one of those conversations that leaves you feeling a little lighter after listening. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS "Drop the Charges." Whitney shares the mindset shift that helped her let go of childhood resentment, find peace, and stop carrying the weight of her past. Postpartum Wasn't the End, It Was a Software Update.

Ariel Dumas spent more than a decade helping shape one of America's most iconic late-night shows, earning 13 Emmy nominations as Head Writer of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and The Colbert Report. In this episode, she takes Danielle inside the end of an era following the show’s official end in May. Ariel shares what it was really like writing alongside Stephen Colbert, and why the friendships, not the job title, are what mattered most. If you've ever had to let go of something you loved, this episode is for you. Ariel also shares: Why she believes the best careers are built on joy. What it was really like inside Stephen Colbert's writers' room and the standards that made it one of television's best. The leadership lesson Stephen Colbert taught Ariel that completely changed her confidence. How to overcome imposter syndrome and start taking up more space at work. Why the end of The Late Show offers a lesson everyone can apply to their own career. The career advice that landed Ariel her first television writing opportunity (hint: it started with a thank-you note). Why failing constantly is one of the most important skills for creative success. Her thoughts on women in late night, and why she dislikes the phrase "women in comedy." What makes great comedy fundamentally human, and why AI can't replace it. Inside Second City, the comedy institution that launched generations of legendary comedians, including Stephen Colbert and Steve Carrell. Why podcasts may be the future of late night television. The surprising leadership qualities that made Stephen Colbert one of the best bosses Ariel has ever had. Why it's never too late to pursue your dream career, and the surprising path that led Ariel to comedy writing. The simple mindset shift that helped Ariel stop waiting for permission and start taking herself seriously. The question that could change how you think about ambition: What if the secret to a great career isn't working harder, but having more fun?

This week we go intercontinental as Jackie chats from California Laurie during her run of shows in London. Foggy London town has been both cruel and kind to Ms Laurie. She's learned the gamet of show vibes can go from loose alt comedy shows to something that could be described as “200% More British”.  But she also gave a hot Nigerian man her whatsapp! Meanwhile, Jackie relates her own travel woes and is legitimately startled when Laurie offers sympathy.

This episode is brought to you by The Evergreen Initiative at The Action Lab NY, whom recently appointed Rachel La Loca as an Artist In Action Fellow! A round of virtual applause please! The Action Lab brings together organizers, artists, and cultural leaders to build the strategies and creative infrastructure movements need to win. Through the Evergreen Initiative, art isn't just a backdrop for social change—it's one of the most powerful forces shaping how we understand the world, honor our communities, and imagine what's possible. So whether we're laughing with groundbreaking women in comedy (stay tuned for the next episode of LOL!), talking with filmmakers documenting the climate crisis, or sharing stories that challenge and inspire us, this partnership was developed to connect with people using creativity to move culture forward. Learn more about the org at www.actionlabny.org. Speaking of using creativity to move the culture forward, this episode's guest has been giving filmmakers a conduit for their stories for decades. A thought leader for those of us in media, Luis Ortiz is the Managing Director of Latino Public Broadcasting (LPB), the largest Latino content developer and funder in public media. He is responsible for overseeing the development, financing, and production of Latino-themed programming broadcast on PBS. Luis is also the Series Producer for VOCES-- LPB's acclaimed PBS documentary series. VOCES highlights the best of Latino arts, culture, and history, bringing powerful stories from established and new filmmakers to a national audience. See below for more info on this season's films. You can catch them on PBS right now! www.pbs.org/show/voces/  My Queerceañera: Coming Of Age At 50 Marcos Nieves (Producer/Director) In honor of Pride Month, VOCES SHORTS kicks off with this portrait of Karyna, an immigrant transgender woman in Arizona about to turn 50, who is determined to fulfill her lifelong dream of celebrating her quinceañera. Despite her family and society not fully accepting her, she strives to pave the way for other transgender women to celebrate their true selves, regardless of age and their circumstances in life. Juana Pelos Maria Mealla (Writer/Director) This sly comedy is the story of Juana, who is entering puberty and dealing with all that comes with it, including body hair. Relentlessly bullied, with no support from her mother in shedding her hairy shame, Juana crusades into the new world of hair removal behind her mom's back. My Name Is Annabel Amity Hoffmann and Ida Joglar (Producer/Directors) Annabel Hernandez, a performer with Down syndrome from Wichita, Kansas, shares her life and interviews friends and family about their perceptions of people with Down syndrome in this intimate documentary portrait. Farmers Of The Sea Juan Carlos Dávila (Director) Caribbean fishermen are desperately trying to adapt to rising sea temperatures. This documentary follows a crew of fishermen in Vieques, Puerto Rico, who are forced to navigate further and further into the open sea in order to catch enough fish to make a living. Sangre Violenta, Sangre Violeta Arturo R. Jiménez and Edna Diaz (Directors) Why does the Mexican government consider the feminist movement a bigger threat than most drug cartels? In this powerful film, a grieving father, an inspiring musician and survivor, and a radical feminist collective confront the horrifying reality of the epidemic of gender violence in Mexico. About Latino Public Broadcasting For over 28 years, Latino Public Broadcasting (LPB) has been developing award-winning film and digital media that explores the history, arts and culture of Latino Americans, bringing these powerful and illuminating stories to a national audience on PBS — on TV, online and on the PBS app. LPB projects have spotlighted Latino contributions to the arts (Julia Alvarez: A Life Reimagined, John Leguizamo's Road to Broadway, Raúl Julia: The World's a Stage); told the story of Latino icons from Dolores Huerta to Luis Valdez, Tito Puente to Celia Cruz, Ruben Salazar to Roberto Clemente; explored history and politics through a Latino lens (John Leguizamo's American Historia,Latino Vote 2024); and told stories from Mexico, Puerto Rico and Latin America (Water for Life, Reportero), many as part of its signature PBS series VOCES.

Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself!Join Wendy for her dreamy Summer Solstice White Party on Saturday June 20, 2026 —an al fresco evening of delicious food, intention-setting, and celebration at the Phineas Wright House. Wear white, gather at the long table in the field, and toast to the season ahead. Save you seat here: phineaswrighthouse.com/the-shop/p/summer-solstice-white-partyIn this episode, Wendy sits down with Lynn Harris, founder of Gold Comedy and an industry veteran who's spent her career at the intersection of entertainment and social change. After 5 years of eldercare and other demands, Lynn is saying yes to herself again by setting boundaries, scheduling creative projects, and pursuing her own work.They explore:How comedy works as a delivery system for challenging conversations and cultural shiftWhy the specificity of storytelling creates unexpected connection across differenceWhat it means to set boundaries and reclaim your creative life after burnoutLynn talks about the social contract of comedy and when you attend a show, you're required to listen to someone, even if they don't look like you or share your background. That simple act normalizes different perspectives and creates the possibility for cultural change. She's built Gold Comedy to help women and underrepresented voices succeed in comedy and entertainment, because the industry hasn't evolved enough since the 90s. Her insight is clear: it's not that women need to speak up more. It's that people need to listen.Connect with Lynn:GoldComedy.comDiscount Code Coming Soon!Youtube.com/GoldComedyInstagram: instagram.com/goldcomedyReferenced in this Episode:Boundary Boss by Terri Cole: amazon.com/dp/1683647688?tag=syty-20A Course in Miracles Links:amazon.com/Course-Miracles-Combined-Quality/dp/1883360242?tag=syty-20marianne.com/acim/apps.apple.com/us/app/acim-remind/id737568020________________________________________________________________________________________Connect with Wendy:LinkedinInstagram: @wendy.harropFacebook: Phineas Wright HouseWebsite: Phineas Wright House PWH Farm StaysPWH Curated Experience and TravelInterested in being a guest on the show?

Before watching the finale of Hacks, let's take a trip down memory lane back to its pilot episode. As we prepare to say farewell to Deborah Vance and Ava Daniels we've assembled a list of topics stacked higher than the third plate at a Vegas buffet. From car chases, to improv weddings and the upcoming 2026 Philadelphia Eagles season this episode has something for everyone! We've recapped this pilot in about the length of time it takes to fly from LA to Vegas.

This week's episode isn't coming out so much as escaping! Through tech errors and spiritual erosion we still bring you the kind of inside info you can't get anywhere else. For example, were you aware that there is an Olympics specifically for people who use steroids? Do you think that exists and Laurie Kilmartin doesn't take a look? Plus, Jackie's new notebook is already filling up. Notebook Tip: You want some good scratchy paper. Plus, you know you're a comic when you know where to park.

This week on the show, the ladies, Jackie (@jackiekashian) and Laurie (@anylaurie16), discuss the unique trend of a long string of Lisas working in comedy club management nationwide. Mind. Blown. They observe the phenomenon of the “wheels guy”, the kind of guy who will tell you a story of how something got wheels, and as he tells it to you, you know none of it is true. Weird dudes. Plus, Jackie is reading a mystery with hints of the occult. To combat her fears, she is bravely choosing to skip over the scary parts...

In Episode 222, Sarah talks with authors Jennifer Marie Thorne and Lee Kelly about their latest co-written novel, The Midnight Show. Set in the world of 1980s late-night comedy, the book is told in a documentary / oral history format that traces the rise of a breakout star — and the mystery surrounding her disappearance. They talk about how they developed a cast of characters shaped by both real-life comedy figures and their own creative instincts, as well as the challenge of writing sketch comedy that actually lands on the page. They also get into the realities of writing as a duo and the novel's exploration of how women in comedy are perceived and defined. Plus, they share what they're working on next and their book recommendations. This post contains affiliate links through which I make a small commission when you make a purchase (at no cost to you!).
