Funny You Should Ask pulls back the curtain on comedy with candid, funny, and surprisingly personal conversations.

Hosted by GOLD founder Lynn Harris, this podcast features candid, behind-the-scenes Q&As with artists like Maria Bamford, Jonterri Gadson, Flash Rosenberg, and Shaun Cassidy (yes, that one!)—plus real questions from real working comics.

It’s honest. It’s generous. It’s occasionally unhinged. And it’s designed to help you do better work—and feel less alone doing it.
