In this episode titled The Healing Power of Comedy, Jiaoying is joined by comedian & columnist Kat Timpf. They start the podcast off by comparing how their moms talked (and didn’t talk) about sex with them growing up. They then dive into an in-depth discussion about boundaries, self-love, and how it takes loving yourself to find love with someone else. Kat recounts the story of a 10 month one night stand, and the two commiserate about men who play acoustic guitar. They talk about how they hate when pretty women are nice and how they don’t understand people who write hateful comments. They then reminisce about their open mic days and talk about how brutal open mics can be. They end the podcast with an open and honest conversation about the importance of being able to joke about everything and the healing power of comedy.
Kat stands out in a sea of pundits because of her libertarian perspective and use of comedy and satire to get her no-nonsense points across. While she is steadfast in her strong libertarian beliefs, Kat is a firm believer in the power of conversations to bridge gaps, political or otherwise. Kat loves connecting with people across the country and around the world and talking about the things that are on everyone’s minds, but no one’s lips. And she is sure to do so with a great deal of respect and humor.
Kat explores these topics and more in her new book You Can’t Joke About That, available everywhere on April 18th. She lives in New York City with her husband Cam, their dog Carl, and her cat Cheens.
