Description

In the latest episode of 'Unemployed,' Anna chats with friend and comedian Jess Salomon (The Tonight Show). Jess was once a war crimes lawyer (gasp!) who decided to pursue her passion and become a comedian. She takes us through a journey of what it was like to leave her job, start going to open mics in Holland, and then having to explain to security at the Canadian border that she and her wife are just heading to the states to hit up some comedy shows. It's a wild ride and you're gonna love it. If you've ever thought about a career change, this is the episode for you! Plus we call Katherine who was laid off and is looking to get a job in radio so family member stop asking the common question, "when are you going to get a job?!?"

This is a safe space for anyone who has ever lost a job, left a job, or is sitting at their desks bored out of their mind right now! Based on the hit live digital talk show, "The Unemployed Show," where Anna and guests would wear pajamas every week and commiserate about bad jobs, this podcast is a more intimate look into the world of unemployment and underemployment. Anna sat in front of a camera on her couch for 'The Unemployed Show' for 2 years and then got a job hosting a show in front of hundreds of thousands of people on the app HQ. Is she the fairy godmother of unemployed millennials? Some say yes! Hopefully this podcast will inspire you to pick yourself up and get a new job, or stay on your couch and chill all day. Either way, you'll laugh with Anna and her guests about the insane things they did for work. Each week Anna interviews friends, comedians, and professionals about their worst (and best!) job stories and how they figured out life as an unemployed person. Oh and sometimes they call a stranger from the internet who is unemployed and in need of a pep talk. It's sweet.
