My guest today is Maytha Alhassen, who writes for Hulu’s Ramy. This episode is a little different from previous episodes in that Maytha does not have a typical comedy background. She started out in academia and has a PhD in American studies, she’s done theater, written poetry, and she’s worked as a journalist covering the refugee crisis. I found it really fascinating to hear about her varied professional background and how those collective experiences informed her work on Ramy. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
