RIP Summer 2020 (with Esther Povitsky)

Pineapple Street Studios
About this episode

Dead birds, flying Porta Potties and deep diving into the summer we never had. Comedian Esther Povitsky joins us on the pod to talk about her new tie-dying business, her Comedy Central stand-up special "Hot For My Name" and the Old Orchard Mall in Skokie, IL. For Do Better White People, we're talking about Vote Forward, a letter writing campaign that encourages people to vote in the election, and gives you a reason to support the US Post Office. It's an easy, safe way to engage in activism by writing letters to voters in swing states. Check it out at https://votefwd.org/. And finally, Bari finished "I May Destroy You" and Matt is excited for season 2 of "Pen15". Make sure to follow Matt @MattBellassai, Bari @finkelbaripie, and Unhappy Hour @UnhappyHourPod (on Twitter only)
