2022 Year End Clip Show

Hey confidants, I’m sharing a special preview of a podcast I’ve been enjoying, Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso, from Pushkin Industries. Talk Easy is a weekly interview podcast, where writer Sam Fragoso invites actors, writers, activists, and musicians to come to the table and speak from the heart in ways you probably haven't heard from them before. Driven by curiosity, he’s had revealing conversations with everyone from Quinta Brunson to Judd Apatow to Resma Mananekem. In this preview, he’s joined by comedian Abbi Jacobson, who describes her solo, cross-country road trip from New York to Los Angeles in 2017 and what it meant to make it again this year—with her now fiancée, Jodi Balfour, and the story of how they got engaged. You can hear the full episode, and more from Talk Easy, at https://podcasts.pushkin.fm/talkeasypod?sid=tellme.
