Hari Kondabolu, Lindy West, et al. — Humor as a Tool for Survival

from On Being · host On Being Studios

Humor lifts us up but it also underscores what’s already great; it connects us with others and also brings us home to ourselves. And like everything meaningful, it’s complex and nuanced — it can be fortifying or damaging, depending on how we wield it. But as a tool for survival, humor is elemental. We explore this idea with a rabbi who started out in drag, comedians, an NPR host, writers of sci-fi fantasy, social commentary, and the TV show VEEP.
