Rachel Webster! Jamie Feldman! Podcast hosts! Writers! Friends! Delights! More! Rachel and Jamie are the creators and co-hosts of the show , a multi-award-winning narrative podcast. In their words it is "a true crime investigation into the systematic murder of our bank accounts, the violent myths that have robbed us of our imagination, and the prison break we're planning." In March, Feldman and Webster won a coveted Ambie Award for Best Indie Hosts (), and the Gold Signal Award for Best Indie Podcast & Best New Podcast. Debt Heads topped many "best of" lists for 2025 including: The Atlantic's 20 Best Podcasts of the Year, Apple's Best So Far, as well as Lifehacker's 20 Most Essential Podcasts and Hark Audio's Best of 2025. They've been featured on, and. Season 1 introduced us to the co-hosts' personal lives, their secret feelings of financial "failure", and interrogated the ways that our economy thrives on consumer debt. On June 25th, they published six new episodes that continue the consumer debt story by investigating the other side of personal finance -- the labor market. Layoffs, the gig economy, navigating the chaos of modern adulthood while trying to make a living -- the Millennial Dreams of self actualization in the workplace have turned into a nightmare so fierce that we have no choice but to begin to imagine a new way to live. In the final episode of the season, Jamie and Rachel come full circle with one final question: What is debt, really? And who is actually in debt to whom? And now they're HERE! We had a great chat.

And here's some info about Max and his new book out today: "From acclaimed queer advocate and sex educator Max Hovey comes (on sale May 19, 2026; $19.99; HarperOne), the essential modern guide that dissects the exclusionary rhetoric often found in queer spaces and offers a revolutionary framework for fostering understanding, self-reflection, and community unity. Through personal anecdotes, interviews with 21 trailblazing voices, and a sharp critique of internalized homophobia, racism, transphobia, and body image issues, Hovey sheds light on the challenges queer individuals face both within and outside their community. NO FATS, NO FEMS also celebrates the resilience, diversity, and beauty of queer identities, offering actionable steps to foster empathy and create a more inclusive future. NO FATS, NO FEMS explores: The role of race, class, and identity in shaping prejudice within queer spaces. How historical and cultural shifts have influenced modern queer thought. The impact of internalized homophobia and body image struggles. Tools for fostering inclusion, sexual liberation, and non-conformity. How to cultivate pride, empathy, and community for a kinder future. NO FATS, NO FEMS is more than a book—it’s a call to action for anyone invested in creating a more compassionate and equitable world."

431: Matt Koff and Cat Man
Matt Koff! Comedian! Writer! Friend! Delight! More! Matt is a very funny comedian friend! We have a great chat and you can have a great listen! Then tonight you can watch his new special! Here's some more information about that from the press release that says it better than I ever could: Tonight: at 8pm ET, 2026 Tuesday: Any time: Emmy-Winning writer for the Daily Show, and winner of New York’s Funniest Stand Up 2023, Matt Koff is excited to announce the YouTube release of his second comedy hour, Cat Man, May 15th with a premiere at 8pm with Koff attending; he will be in the chat. Said Koff, “I’m excited to share my special with the broader audience of YouTube. If this special doesn’t bring about world peace, nothing will.” Cat Man is an hour of fresh stand-up material from the Comedy Cellar regular about divorce, middle-age and cats. Koff believes there is a real bias against men with cats. He says “People love cats, but men with cats make people uncomfortable. Including me. I’m a man with a cat and I’m creeped out by myself!” The special is also a reprieve for Koff from his main subject of joke-writing at the Daily Show: Donald Trump. He says “It was nice to do an entire special that doesn’t mention the president, whomever he may be. And judging from the state of the world, this could very well be my last comedy special, so I’m excited to get it out there.” He added, “I will still be touring doomsday bunkers though.” Cat Man was shot at The Comedy Cellar with some of Matt Koff’s long-time Daily Show colleagues including director David Paul Meyer, producer Asad Bokhari, and lighting director George Countas, fresh off his win as New York’s top Art Director Becca Gialanella, also a Daily Show colleague, transformed the Cellar’s Village Underground into a 1970s lounge. There are a number of other comics from his 23 years in the biz, including Jon Stewart himself (spoiler), that also make a guest appearance. Matt Koff had always dreamed of performing at the Comedy Cellar. He says “It took me years to get an audition there and I was so bitter about not getting in, sometimes I would walk past the Cellar and hiss at the club. Now I get to perform there and hiss at the audience when they don’t like a joke.” More About Matt Koff: Matt Koff is a Brooklyn-based stand-up comic and veteran Emmy-Winning TV writer working at The Daily Show for the last 13 years. His debut comedy album,, is out on 800 Pound Gorilla Records. As a stand-up, Matt has appeared on Comedy Central, WNYC, WFMU, and The History Channel, which is how you know he’s smart. Matt has also written for The Onion and The White House Correspondents' Dinner hosted by Trevor Noah. He won the title of ‘New York’s Funniest Stand Up’ in 2023 and co-created the Twitter sensation, which was called one of the. Praise For Matt Koff’s Stand-up: “Hilarious!” - Weird Al “Shamefully excellent” - Comedy Cake “A hilariously dark comedic debut” - the Daily Californian ”Koff is a great comedy writer” - Time Out NY York Matt Koff Online: Enjoy our conversation!

430: Anjelah Johnson-Reyes and Ugly Baby
Anjelah Johnson-Reyes! Comedian! Actor! Podcaster! Friend! Delight! More! We have a great chat and you can have a great listen! Anjelah's 7th comedy special, “Anjelah Johnson-Reyes: Ugly Baby” (a self-financed and self-produced special where she makes her directorial debut) is out today, May 10, 2026 starting at 12PM PDT / 2PM CDT on From the special's press release, the show is "a dynamic hour of standup that blends humor and heart, exploring ever-evolving family dynamics, embracing her current stage of life, and the grand adventure of becoming a first-time mom in her later years. Following the success of her last two specials, 'Say I Won’t' (over 8.6M views and counting) and 'Technically Not Stalking' (over 3.1M views and counting), it only makes sense that Anjelah also brings her 7th special to YouTube to continue making her comedy available to fans all over the world. The platform has been a home for Anjelah for over 20 years, ever since her 'Nail Salon' joke went viral. At the core of the special is Anjelah’s journey into motherhood in her 40s. Using her natural wit and charm, she opens up about personal struggles with fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum life, while touching on the universal themes of relationships, generational shifts, and fighting people on airplanes. Anjelah’s special is anchored in her relatability – you can’t help but feel that she is your cool Tia commiserating with you on everything. Ahead of the new special, Anjelah Johnson-Reyes shares: 'I’m grateful that I’ve been able to do this 7 times. My boobs may be falling lower but at least my career continues to reach new heights, all thanks to my loyal fans that have been riding with me for so long. I hope you enjoy my most vulnerable hour yet!' Filmed live across two sold-out shows at the historic El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles, the special is a co-production between her Laugh On Beat production company and 800 Pound Gorilla. The special was directed by Anjelah Johnson-Reyes and executive produced by Anjelah Johnson-Reyes, Manwell Reyes, Stephen Gordon Walker, and Jordan Levy. Anjelah is one of the most successful stand-up comedians today with six comedy specials streaming on various platforms and selling out theaters across the world. Her 7th comedy special serves as the capstone to her largely successful “The Family Reunion” stand-up comedy tour, which spanned 100+ shows in major theaters across the US in 2025–2026. Over the course of the tour she sold over 200,000 tickets including two sold out shows at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, 4 sold out shows at The Grove of Anaheim, a sold out show at Smart Financial Centre in Houston, TX, and a sold out show at The Ryman in Nashville, TN. Born and raised in San Jose, California, and of Mexican and Native American descent, Anjelah has guest starred on shows such as Life & Beth, Superstore, The Shield, Ugly Betty, and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Her film roles include Enough Said, Our Family Wedding, and Alvin And The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel. Most recently, Anjelah joined Eddie Murphy and Tracee Ellis Ross in the Amazon Prime feature, Candy Cane Lane. In February 2024, she returned for the second season of the Hulu original series, Life & Beth, and also hosted the 8-episode Tubi original series, My Crazy Quince, which premiered in May 2024. Anjelah published her first memoir titled, Who Do I Think I Am?: Stories of Chola Wishes and Caviar Dreams, in March 2022. She also recently launched her new comedy and mental health podcast, Funjelah, where Anjelah and her guests recount the things that they are grateful for and dive deep into how those gratitudes affect their lives. Based out of Nashville and Los Angeles, Anjelah lives with her husband Manwell, their daughter Rosie, and their dog Banzo." Enjoy! And this is only the first HALF of our chat.

And here's some information from the press release about his new club: ANNOUNCING OPENING WEEKEND OF THE GREENPOINT COMEDY CLUB APRIL 10-11, 2026 NYC’S NEWEST VENUE FOR COMEDY AND MORE LOCATION: 66 Greenpoint Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222 OPENING WEEKEND: Friday April 10th and Saturday April 11th Tickets: February 25, 2026 - New York, NY - NYC comedy favorite and veteran show producer Jeremy Pinsly and his wife and business partner Kayla Pinsly will open The Greenpoint Comedy Club this spring. Greenpoint Comedy Club will feature the best comics in NYC and beyond and boasts a thoughtfully designed bar room where you can find expertly crafted cocktails (and more!) from afternoons through 2AM. The venue is over 2,000 square feet in a prime location in Greenpoint. The bar will open in late March, with a grand opening weekend on Friday, April 10 and Saturday, April 11. Live comedy will kick off on April 10 with an 8PM show, followed by an opening party with music, food and some of the coolest comics in NYC. The weekend will continue on April 11 with two shows at 7:30PM and 10:15PM. Greenpoint Comedy Club is a venue for comics, by a comic. From top of the line lighting and A/V systems to the design of the space, every detail of this club has been considered to maximize the experience for both the comics and the audience. This will be a place for comics to work regular spots, headliner nights and record their specials. Jeremy aims to create a place for comedians at all stages of their career to have an opportunity to reach new audiences. Jeremy has performed and produced stand-up in NYC and on the road for more than 15 years, He’s produced shows in comedy clubs, speakeasies, a boxing gym, and a brownstone in Cobble Hill, where monthly shows sold out consistently for two years. Armed with a unique sense of what works and what is missing from most comedy venues, Jeremy and Kayla aim to make the Greenpoint Comedy Club a destination for the best comedy in NYC. As Jeremy describes, GCC’s mission is “to run the highest quality show possible while also giving younger comics a chance to get their start.” Greenpoint Comedy Club will serve as an incubator for the comedy scene. With a mission to bring “the hang” back, guests and performers are welcome to mingle and network before and after performances. Jeremy says: “We want to create a club where you can spend an evening, not just see a show and go. We’ve intentionally designed this space so you can grab a drink and meet new friends all night long.” With a cozy atmosphere, ample seating and a top tier alcohol program curated by industry veteran and skilled mixologist Dory Greenberg, GCC aims to be a spot where you can grab a great drink and stay a while. While comedy is at the heart of everything Greenpoint Comedy Club does, the club will also feature live music, writing workshops and even after school programs with the intention of offering a space for creatives of all types to gather. ABOUT THE GREENPOINT COMEDY CLUB: The Greenpoint Comedy Club is NYC’s newest comedy club located in the nightlife center of Greenpoint. By offering regular standup shows, unique produced shows and live music in a cozy, speakeasy environment, Greenpoint Comedy Club aims to be a flagship destination for NYC nightlife. ABOUT JEREMY PINSLY: Jeremy Pinsly, born in Nashville, has performed standup comedy in NYC for the past 15 years. He has produced standup shows at comedy clubs, bars, restaurants, and speakeasies all over NYC. In 2015 he started a podcast with an 89 year old comedian and actress, Dev Rogers where they discussed life and comedy in Dev’s rent stabilized apartment in the Upper West Side. In 2022 Jeremy and his now wife Kayla started a comedy show in their apartment, Bubbe’s Comedy Hour, that ran successfully for over 2 years. Most recently Jeremy started a comedy production business in Nashville, TN where he ran shows at Friends in Low Places on Broadway, Music City Boxing Gym and other venues all over the city. In late fall of 2025, Jeremy founded the Greenpoint Comedy Club. And this is only the first HALF of our chat! For part two, subscribe via Apple Podcasts OR

411: Firecracker Comedy!

411: Firecracker Comedy!
Firecracker Comedy! Welcome to the first THREE-GUEST EPISODE of Broccoli and Ice Cream! Because... Firecracker Comedy is a comedy ‘supergroup’ composed of Gabby Gutierrez-Reed, Kate Strobel and Salma Zaky. Forged in the grade-A comedy incubator of Denver, CO, Firecracker Comedy has been putting on killer shows for years. The Firecracker Comedy album celebrates this trio of badass women who center their comedy, and everything they do around their deep and undying friendship, love, and appreciation for each other: “We started running Firecracker Comedy as a standup show in a tattoo shop in Denver years ago, when we all were in a bit of a dark place and at a crossroads in our lives. The show is a celebration of finding joy, building community, and being silly with your pals when the world around you is spiraling out of control. We even have matching firecracker tattoos!” Firecracker Comedy consists of 20 minute sets from Gabby, Kate and Salma, following an introduction from all three to welcome the audience to the group’s delightful chemistry. Each of the three comedians have distinct styles: Kate’s heartfelt storytelling, Gabby’s hilarious impressions, and Salma’s perfectly crafted one-liners. These differences compliment each other, much like in a friendship (or three)! Salma and Kate are now based in Brooklyn where they regularly bring the Firecracker vibes to Union Hall. The album is a culmination of material from their collective time in Denver - running that sold-out indie comedy show in the tattoo studio, hauling chairs across town, hanging flyers in every Denver coffee shop, stressing about if the broken sound system would work that night - as well as Salma and Kate’s early experiences in the Big Apple. The album shows how no matter where they find themselves, the three always come back together as friends. Gabby, Kate and Salma of course want their listeners to belly laugh for an hour straight, but they also want listeners to feel connected to them as a group, and be inspired to create silly little things with their friends too. What else is life really about besides deepening our relationships and collaborating with the ones you love? We have a great chat! You have a great listen!
