Summary
Stephen's known for taking over the The Late Show Pod Show with exclusive introductions and delightfully tangential conversations, so we've been replaying our favorite Stephen intro's all week long before we're back with all new episodes on Tuesday, September 3rd. In this intro rewind, Stephen talks with Becca, our podcast producer, about how he found comedian Ariel Elias via Instagram Reels, and then speaks at length with great fondness about "The Queen" and all of her projects: comedian Maria Bamford.
Ariel Elias's stand up set originally aired March 6th, 2024; Maria Bamford originally aired January 15th, 2016. Stephen's introduction was previously recorded for a podcast released on March 19th, 2024.
