episode 5586: Humorist Samantha Irby
Humorist and TV writer Samantha Irby is not afraid to tell you about her bowel movements, her mental health struggles or about the "glamorous hoarding" in her house. She's made a career out of writing about these things, and spinning them into comedy. She spoke with Tonya Mosley about her new book, Quietly Hostile.
Also, David Bianculli reviews the new Netflix docuseries Working, hosted by Barack Obama.
