Trae Crowder: Rednecks and Blue Sheep

Trae Crowder, comedian, author and internet sensation, joins us for a conversation on his roots, his ideology and the current state of comedy.  From growing up in a red town as one of the few blue sheep and his dad introducing him to film and comedy; to having and accepting a gay uncle, being mesmerized by Eddie Izzard and Chris Rock's comedy.  His background is unique because of time and place.  His voice, wit and accent are a deadly combination.  But his values in equity and justice have spanned beyond comedy and into the social media world, acting as a beacon of empathy and giving people a reason to laugh in the darkest of times.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
