Summary
Sofie talks to Toronto-based comedian DeAnne Smith about their semi-neglected podcast Questionable at Best, getting too in your head about things, self-sabotage, the scrappy underdog, why straight guys need to do better, feminism and Nazis, thriving in tension, getting overwhelmed in social situations, why the US feels like a dysfunctional family, the Canadian comedy scene, staying authentic to yourself and thinking you’ve invented the concept of being gay.
