Naima Pearce (Tooning Out The News, Patriot Act)
Listen now
Description
I talk with Naima Pearce (@naimapearce) about her unconventional path to comedy, starting out working in cable news. This is hands down one of my favorite episodes. It was so fascinating to hear Naima talk about the frustrations and flaws of cable news and how she's able to satirize them at Tooning Out The News. We talk about how she slowly made her way over to comedy, working on shows like Patriot Act as a researcher before getting to her current job. We talk about the behind-the-scenes of TOTN and some of the most memorable moments during her time there.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
