Shalewa Sharpe - Andrew Bird

Wow, wow, wow. It's time for the show. Today, we're touching ears and touching hearts because our guest is the hilarious Shalewa Sharpe (from The Tonight Show, HBO, and Comedy Central). Shalewa shares her long-standing fascination with the indie rock singer/songwriter Andrew Bird, a musician she seemingly has followed since the first day he picked up an instrument! We also share some mortifying stories from childhood and chat about the South, NYC, and how to rebel against your parents. My New Thing is a comedy podcast featuring interviews with the funniest people on the planet discussing their latest obsessions! We're talking hobbies, sports, video games, and obscure films you can only find on VHS. It's a podcast where comedians talk about anything but how they got started in the biz! What a relief. Hosted by comedians Dan Wilbur (The Onion, Sirius XM) and Zach Sims (Comedy Central) Join us, hobbyholers! Follow us on Instagram! Music by Corn Mo. Art by Jordan Doll. Want to see us live?
