Listen "Episode 100: Comedian Josh Gondelman on Doing Good & Staying Funny in Dire Times"
Episode Synopsis
We know we say it all the time, but this really is a very special episode. And no, it’s not hyperbole: This is our 100th episode of The Vibe of the Tribe!
We’re excited to celebrate with an interview with Josh Gondelman (www.joshgondelman.com), an award-winning television writer, comedian, author and podcast host—and a mensch after our own hearts.
A Stoneham native and Brandeis University alum, Gondelman is a writer for Showtime’s late-night hit “Desus & Mero.” He has also won several awards, including four Emmys, for his work on “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.” He hosts his own podcast called “Make My Day,” is a regular panelist on NPR’s “Wait Wait...Don’t Tell Me!,” penned two books and so much more.
Our wide-ranging conversation includes Gondelman’s childhood in the Boston ‘burbs, his undying love for The Beastie Boys, behind-the-scenes moments from his shows and how to stay positive during apocalyptic times.
This milestone episode—coming at a difficult time for our country and our communities—managed to lift us up and give us some much-needed laughs. We hope it does the same for you!
Here’s to our next 100 episodes!
Edited by Jesse Ulrich, with music by Ryan J. Sullivan.
