This week welcome New York comedian and fellow podcaster Chris Grace to the Comedy Nerds studios to talk podcasting. Why do people podcast? Why is it important to comedy? Why is Dustin always so mean to the guests?
Then we look at the oft forgotten Asian comedy minority. Why are there so few Asian people in comedy? How does the culture effect the need to perform? Why is Dustin always so mean to the guests?
Check out Chris Grace’s website and podcast here.

Good luck with you show today. I can’t believe i’m your one listener for today fucking cool! Say hello to my sister.
Chris Grace was able to make some insightful points about (English-speaking) Asians in comedy. This is a complex issue to tackle, and not one easily addressed, as discussions about race tend to be. For instance, it made me wonder if the number of Asian comedians was relative to the population of Asian citizens in North America. I was happy Dan and Dustin discussed this topic, and was glad Chris Grace mentioned ethnic South Asians along with the list of comedians of East Asian heritage. Plus Chris is funny as balls. Thank you.
Chris. This is your Mom. It’s still not to late to become a doctor, like your cousin Moishe.
