Chris vs. The People

by Chris Klemens

Chris vs. The People is a weekly podcast where comedian, Chris Klemens, turns to the audience via live calls to talk about anything and everything. It's like your brutally honest and funny best friend became a call-in operator. When he isn't taking live calls, the tables turn because he and his in-studio guests are exchanging their own Chris vs. The People-esque stories. From first date horror stories to childhood regrets, there's always something to relate to and something to be absolutely stunned by. (Video episodes are available on YouTube)

My fiancée has been watching this podcast on YouTube while I lay in bed playing my video games next to her. Most of her podcasts? Not my jam. However, this one is filled with such wild stories and Chris connects with the callers in such a genuine way that I can’t helped but be totally charmed.
