A queer counselor and a minister make a podcast in a red state.
In this episode, Nic and Katelyn discuss comedy and its role within our lives and discussions.
How can we work joy and hope into a world that feels the opposite sometimes? Can laughing be revolutionary? Can comedy help us deal with hard things, and how much is appropriate?
We discuss the comment section of this Chris Olsen reel: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DO3l-blDJME/?igsh=bXlsa2gwbGtldzF0
And this Jimmy Kimmel monologue: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/167eDevHkw/?mibextid=wwXIfr
We believe this episode is a prelude to the next episode, “The Middle,” where we really get to the meat of the issues.
This quote by Black comedian Dick Gregory leads us out, as it marries the topic of this episode with a teaser for next week:
“What I’ve come to learn in my long life is that ignorance is not bliss; it is time consuming and costly as hell.”
