Giving A Sh*t with Phoebe Robinson

About this episode

Short packets of content. That’s the world we live in. We've condensed and compressed so much of what we consume that our entertainment and our news seem to have lost any nuance or complexity.

And that’s a problem, because our world and our lives are nuanced and complex.

Phoebe Robinson is a comedian, bestselling author, actress and producer who tries to capture the nuance and complexity of life in her work. And it works. She’s funny, thought-provoking and full of heart. 

This is…A Bit of Optimism.
