Women and Comedy | with Madi Murphy

Babe, What Do You Know About?

Send us a text

We are tearing down stereotypes and challenging double standards as we spotlight on the world of comedy from a woman's perspective. We talk with Madi Murphy, host of The Bad Broadcast, and share some raw, unfiltered experiences we've experienced, and the societal expectations that we combat daily.
We take an earnest look at the challenges faced by women in comedy and the power of podcasting in providing a platform for our voices. We discuss the impact of online criticism, how to handle it while maintaining our authenticity, and the importance of empathy and support within the female community. Lastly, we celebrate the connective power of comedy, its role in fostering a sense of belonging, and why, in spite of the vulnerabilities, we wouldn't trade our journey in comedy for anything else. Prepare to be entertained, informed, and perhaps walk away with a new perspective on comedy and social media!
