Walk-Ins Welcome Podcast 155 - Aida Rodriguez
Original Air Date - 11/18/21
Comedian, writer & actor Aida Rodriguez stops in to discuss Fighting Words her new special streaming on HBO Max and her desire to give people perspective on what's going on in the world. It's easy to talk to people who think like you and talk like you, Aida hopes to push people outside the bounds of their own experiences and perhaps connect them to others in a new way. She and Bridget discuss the weird time we live in where comedians are held to a higher standard than public officials, why it's impossible and toxic to try to please everyone, why comedians should defend their right to be hyperbolic, and how stand-up saved them both. They also cover how political divisions merely get in the way of actually making changes, why artists can't possible be held responsible for all the different interpretations of their work, the fact that we're so busy policing each other that nothing is getting resolved, and what has helped Aida through the darkest times in her life.
