Yaas Queens: Jessica Williams and Phoebe Robinson SLAY in New Podcast

(Photo Cred: Uniton Hall NY) I don’t usually get into podcasts due to my low attention span and need for visual accompaniment to almost any audio. Generally, most of what I do in my spare time is binge-watch stand-up comedy clips, which is how I ran into one of the coolest ever audio podcasts, 2 Dope Queens. Not only was I sold by the line-up for their first show (which includes one of my heroes, comedian Aparna Nancherla! #brownwomen), these 2 Queens captured both my attention and my heart within the first few minutes of the first episode. The Queens in question are Phoebe Robinson (Last Comic Standing, Broad City) and Jessica Williams (The Daily Show).  They’ve been doing live, sold-out shows for years, but now lucky listeners can tune in online for their weekly podcast hosted by WNYC! And it’s also live! And goddamn it is everything I hoped it would be and more.
