Hey, GapFest listeners. You are about to hear an episode of How To with Charles Duhigg.

How To is a brand new Slate podcast. It's hosted by Charles, who's a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, the author of The Power of Habit, a longtime friend of the Gab Fest.

And he's an amazing, amazing storyteller, and he is going to create a great podcast for you.

And in how-to, he's going to use his investigative reporting skills, which are profound,

to enlist experts to answer listeners' toughest questions.

So it'll be coming out every week, but right now we have four episodes for you to listen to now.

So make sure to subscribe in Apple and Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

In the first batch of episodes, Charles tackles how to withstand pain, how to donate a kidney to your mom, and even how to rob a bank.

The episode you're about to hear is called How to Be Funny, and it features a pastor from

rural Oklahoma who wants to spice up his sermons.

Charles introduces him to New York stand-up comic Gary Gullman, and Gapest listeners,

I am sure you are going to appreciate the unlikely pairing of a red state pastor and

blue state comedian.

It's a fresh, surprising conversation, and I guarantee that you will learn a few things for the next time you need to work a room.

So thanks for listening.

Welcome to how to.
