Episode 26: "A Podcast with Dawn Brodey" Dissecting Stand-up Comedy as a Primary Source
Like everything else, stand-up comedy has a history, and like all things, it can be treated as a primary source. The trouble is, which era does the current art form reflect?
I am joined by LA-based comic, historian and podcaster Dawn Brodey to dissect stand-up and determine what it tells us about the last century or so.
Be sure to follow Dawn's History program, The HILF Podcast.
