You probably know Emma Doran as a comedian, you've probably seen her on Amazon Prime's Last Man Laughing, or via her viral social media videos, or through her stand up gigs or whatever you're having yourself.

I loved it, and loved having the opportunity to talk to her about it this week. I hope you do too.
