Wyatt Cenac is the host of Problem Areas on HBO. It's a new kind of program– think Last Week Tonight meets Frontline, except hosted by someone whose comedy is dryer than the Sahara desert. On the podcast, we talk early stand-up days, growing up in Dallas, Texas, ego in comedy, running a show in 2019, the “anxiety crisis” across America, and why Trump appeals to low-income communities. Oh, and some bits. Lots of bits in this one. For more info, talkeasypod.com

1:32.0 | The very talented director passed away over the last week and it |
1:36.2 | is a tremendous, absolutely tremendous loss in the film industry. |
1:40.9 | You have probably seen Boys in the Hood, but you should also see higher learning and four |

2:10.4 | in my very limited experience, a good, generous, warm and kind person in this world. |
