Berlant & Novak

Love the rambling, academic lite friendship. On one episode they ate a wedge salad and I can still hear the silverware sawing through the lettuce. Misophonias beware! But I’ll still listen once I recover because their convo is that good.

Did you like POOG? Do you not know what POOG is but enjoy sparkling repartee? Do you not know what repartee is but have two ears and a heart? Then saddle up and hop on, friend. Catch it.

Jacqueline Novak and Kate Berlant are comedic geniuses, blending humor, vulnerability, and intellect in their incredible podcast. As highly educated and multi-talented creators, they balance comedy, writing, acting, and performing while sharing deeply personal stories about depression, anxiety, and ADHD. What sets them apart is their raw, authentic discussions that turn life’s struggles into hilarious, relatable moments, offering both emotional support and comedic relief. Their ability to connect with listeners is truly inspiring, and the brand they’re building is a testament to their brilliance. This podcast is my absolute favorite. It’s a perfect mix of humor and heart, and my friends and family rely on Jacqueline and Kate for both laughs and emotional grounding. If you haven’t listened yet, you’re missing out on two of the most refreshingly honest voices in comedy today.

Love this show dearly but PLEASE stop sipping on mic! 😩 misophonia sufferers everywhere know what I mean, the sound of sipping on a podcast is bad enough to make a hag unsubscribe and throw the entire phone away.
