Description
Bridget Phetasy admires grit and authenticity. On Walk-Ins Welcome, she talks about the beautiful failures and frightening successes of her own life and the lives of her guests. She doesn’t conduct interviews—she has conversations.

By embracing it all, and celebrating it with the stories she’ll bring listeners, she believes that our lowest moments can be the building blocks for our eventual fulfillment.

She walks through the brutal, years-long process of selling and writing it — the endless proposal feedback loops, the mental block of trying to write about the culture while the culture is still unfolding, and surrendering to the lack of control you have about what’s going on in the world during the process.

Dave Landau returns to the podcast to talk about his new comedy special, breaking down the nuts and bolts of what actually goes into making a stand-up special, how he assembles a set from road-tested bits, how many shows you actually tape, the art of crowd work - engaging with the audience but not losing control of the room - and why some venues now expect it when they used to frown on it. He and Bridget discuss why comedy is more popular now than ever, how podcasting changed the comedy world...
Bridget sits down with Mike Solana — founder of Pirate Wires — who returns to the podcast to talk about why it's nearly impossible to figure out what's actually real anymore. They get into how everyone's algorithm has quietly split us into separate internets, where one person's feed is wall-to-wall Imam videos and another has never seen a single one, the art of hosting a podcast, and why comedians are just weather vanes for the mood of the masses. They also cover the rising glee around politi...
