Listen "Episode 39 — Taylor Tomlinson: Precision Jokes, Quarter-Life Truths"
Episode Synopsis
pplpod Episode 39 follows Taylor Tomlinson’s quicksilver rise—from church shows and open mics as a teenager to Netflix headliner and late-night host. We trace the breakout of Quarter-Life Crisis, the sharper, braver turn of Look at You, and a next-level leap with Have It All—jokes built with clockwork structure and a voice that makes anxiety, faith, family, and dating feel both intimate and universal. Inside the craft: airtight setups, tags that ladder, act-outs with restraint, and the rare ability to balance vulnerability with command. We also explore the pivot to television with After Midnight, the touring engine behind new hours, and what her career says about writing fast, editing harder, and owning the room without shouting.
