I love this moment from today’s Hark Daily where Malcolm Gladwell speaks w Angus Fletcher about how shows like Paw Patrol don't allow space for wonder and dramatic tension. Then MG talks about the "Slimey To The Moon" episode of Sesame Street.

I’m a total Ali Wong fangirl.

I have a local friend who we all say is Ali Wong’s doppelgänger, right down to the personality, only instead of standup comedy, her calling was to become a professor of pharmacy 😆

Check out this playlist, "Ali Wong’s Funniest Podcast Moments" on Hark.

Probably obvious / not the most helpful feedback:

* I love these playlists + having Plotz guide me through the clips

* I struggle to remember to open the app / build a habit

Thanks for reminding me to open the d*mn app as it reminds me so much of my beloved NPR One back in the day
