184 – Barry Crimmins

Posted 7 years ago on October 31st, 2016.

Legendary comic Barry Crimmins kickstarted Boston’s comedy scene in the 1980s, testified to the Senate against AOL.com profiteering from child pornography, and is to this day both a political firebrand and an intensely kind man. We talk about his new special “Whatever Threatens You”, released this week by Louis CK; political comedy and being your own trusted source; and Barry also acknowledges the personal cost of a life of activism.
