About this listen

This week I’m reading about the power of humor and thinking about its role in creating intimacy.

I discuss Mike Birbiglia's new book, The New One, which he co-wrote with his wife, J. Hope Stein.

I also call back to an On Being interview with comedian Baratunde Thurston, who discusses the power of comedy to digest the undigestable.
