I'm Rachel Martin. If you're tired of small talk, check out the Wild Card podcast. I invite

influential thinkers to open up about the big topics we all think about, but rarely talk about.

Tune in this fall to hear Mel Robbins, Malala Yusufzai, and Brunay Brown, talk about everything

from grief and God to ambition and forgiveness. Watch or listen on the NPR app, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Over here, we're big fans of comedian actress Rachel Sennett.

She of Bodies, Bodies, Bottoms, and Shiva Baby Fame.
