Summary

Tis the season for a bonus! We're dropping in an extra topic in the feed because that's how podcasters celebrate the holidays! Today, comedian and host Negin Farsad is joined by Cody Lindquist (Showtime's Our Cartoon President) and comedian/director Charlie Todd (Improv Everywhere founder) to discuss the Wish-List-ification of gift giving. We also ask, is there actually any joy left in giving gifts?? May you enjoy this pod... as you struggle to finish buying all your gifts.

Follow everyone!
