Podcasts by Ask Roulette
Ask Roulette is a conversation series in which strangers ask each other questions, live on stage. It's a mix of conversation, comedy, and storytelling -- there's also music. David Plotz of Slate calls it "great" and the Observer says it's one of NYC's 10 Best Podcasts.
The podcast features highlights from our live events at Housing Works Bookstore in New York, including appearances by special guests. Past guests have included Robert Krulwich of Radiolab, Kurt Braunohler, Julie Klausner, Baratunde Thurston, Kevin Allison of RISK, and many many more.
Ask Roulette is hosted by Jody Avirgan, a producer at WNYC Radio in New York.
