Roy Wood Jr. on Politics, Comedy, and the Difference Between a Joke and Political Misinformation
from Now You Know with Knowa De Baraso · host iHeartPodcasts
With the Hulu special Lonely Flowers, his new book The Man of Many Fathers, Roy Wood Jr. shows how to work the laugh line and the fault line at the same time — proving comedy can shake the room and shift the ground under it. In this episode, Knowa and Roy dig into the cost of telling the truth in public, how to call out power without losing the room, and why the setup is just as important as the punchline.
