Host Gabe González sits down with Jen Statsky, co-creator of HBO’s Peabody Award-winning series Hacks. We talk with Statsky about the complex relationship between the show’s two central characters - and their stark generational divide and friendship, while delving into broader themes of the complex history of women in comedy and the importance of female mentorship. In our second interview, the pod’s executive producer Caty Borum speaks with the ultimate Gen-X comedian, Margaret Cho, about how she’s maintained an outspoken, hilarious comedy career through various waves of American progress and regression, as well as how she’s mentoring up-and-coming queer and Asian comedians today.
