Chronic Relief with Rachel Wolfson

Comedian Felicia Michaels joins Rachel to discuss her alternative origins into the world of stand up comedy. It's a Fabulous Miss Maisel-esque story with an exotic twist that makes apparent the reason Felicia is not only a surviver from the golden age of comedy (the 80's) but also a thriving comedic voice that fits right into the comedy boom of today.
