GAYDHD with EMMA WILLMANN

Witz Comedy Network

GAYDHD with EMMA WILLMAN is a podcast for people who like comedy, curiosity, and conversations that can go from unhinged to weirdly insightful in under thirty seconds. Expect comics, tangents, oversharing, strong opinions with limited research, and the occasional moment of accidental depth. No grand theme yet, which honestly feels on brand. We’re just putting episodes out, figuring out what this thing is, and quietly trying to make it the biggest podcast in the world.

Before that, they get into the specific humiliations of auditioning, including the self-tape that got Natalie's team to ask, in writing, whether she'd ever taken an acting class (she went to acting school), and the blonde-bombshell soap opera

Emergency solo recording, because I had too much to report and no intention of letting my brain flit it into the ether. Last time I was high on my supply of mantras — turns out "I'm not someone who scrolls" lasted about seven days, and I'm ready to admit I'd medal at the Scrolling Olympics. Then a head cold, a Kansas City real estate gig, and a full health-anxiety spiral led to me buying a Life Alert bracelet at 40.And finally, the payoff I'd been saving: the sphincter specialist, the exam, the

Elle Orlando is back — and this time she and I are doing a book club. Two dyslexic comedians who hadn't cracked a book in years both tore through Lena Dunham's memoir, and they get into everything it stirred up: feeling compassion for their 24-year-old selves, the wild Klonopin doses in the book, and how getting off Klonopin made Emma feel like she hadn't known herself in years.They also dig into where the "school system got my ass," being alternative thinkers displaced from the Midwest, being
