Keli
Dailey is
the guest on this week's packed full of goodness installment
of The
Chauncey DeVega Show.
She is the host of News
Hangover,
an online
comedy news series.
News Hangover is
smart, sharp, and funny as Keli and her guests use comedy and
satire as a means to talk about current events, social justice, and
other related topics. Keli is also a journalist who worked at the
U-T San Diego newspaper as a food writer. She is a Stanford grad
and self-described "black hipster".
This makes for a great conversation as Chauncey and Keli connect
the dots on a range of issues from life on the "racism beat", to
learning the craft of comedy, the challenges of talking to young
people about feminism and race, popular culture, Louis C.K. and the
movie Pootie
Tang,
as well as the challenges of putting together a show
like News
Hangover.
This episode of The
Chauncey DeVega Show was
done just as the story about the video-recorded murder of
Walter Scott by a thug cop in South Carolina was breaking as a
national news item. Chauncey and Keli share an organic moment where
they talk about the unending wave of white on black police and
vigilante violence in the United States.
Friend of the podcast, Bill the Lizard, also joins the show as he
and Chauncey discuss the new trailer for the
movie Star
Wars: The Force Awakens.
Chauncey also shares his thoughts on the Michael Dyson versus
Cornel West fracas, going to see legendary comic Dick Gregory, and
a funny email about "race play" and kink that he received earlier
this week.
