“It's quickly become something I look forward to. It's entertaining and funny and quasi-informative, sort of like the Comedy Central "news" shows and NPR's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me with the panel of comedians discussing/making fun of the week's news. I even play it on 1x speed!
It seems like Negin and her team do lots of research before each episode, which I appreciate, but my hunch is that once the comedians go off-script for humor, one shouldn't take their jokes as fact. For example, in one episode, they made a joke about the British PM's views on Brexit. But they corrected themselves in the very next episode!
