In this episode, you'll hear about Jasmine Crockett, Melania Trump, Kid Rock, Jeff Bezos, Michelle Obama, Bad Bunny, Lady Gaga, Mike Tyson -- and how it's all tied to the political discourse. Plus, President Fitzgerald Grant III (aka Tony Goldwyn) stops by, along with Tony-winning actor Myles Frost. They talk about their new play “Chez Joey,” why artists need community, and using their work to make people uncomfortable.
