S4E12 - Margaret Cho (New Album, Comedy Tour, Celebrating Sobriety, DEI Debate)

Margaret Cho rejoins the podcast to discuss everything from her return to music, to Chinese astrology, to how fucked up the world is today. We celebrate the release of Lucky Gift, Margaret’s third album and first in nine years, and discuss songwriting, producing music, and her surprising Smashing Pumpkins inspiration. We bond over music and relationships, make plans to hit up a gay bar, and explains how she constantly changes up her set on the current Live & Livid Stand-Up Comedy Tour. Margaret opens-up about being nine years sober, why she should be full-time on The View, why DEI was established due to discrimination in the workplace and its reversal is a form of discrimination. Margaret gives behind-the-scenes tea on her upcoming film projects including working with Sandra Bernhard & Kristen Schaal on season two of Disney’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Olivia Wilde & Charli XCX on I Want Your Sex, and Molly Ringwald on Thoughts & Prayers.
