I'm Matt Wilstein from The Daily Beast, and today I am joined by that handsome Muppet himself,

Harry a bunch of times over the past few years, first for his excellent 2017 documentary,

The Problem with Apu, and later for his equally wonderful Netflix special, Warn Your

for a new season of their Back by Popular Demand podcast, politically reactive.

It was so fun to catch up with Hari, who recently became a father for the first time,

to talk about comedy, politics, and how he may have single-handedly changed the way people think about cartoon voices forever.
