Description

Warning: The latest episode of Unemployed was recorded in a coronavirus-free world when Anna was still employed at HQ...sounds beautiful, right? How lucky are we to have the very funny Josh Gondelman on this episode?! VERY. You may know Josh from his work on Desus&Mero on Showtime, or Last Week Tonight with John Oliver on HBO. He's the king of pep talks on twitter and he's actually pretty employed! Josh and Anna talk about his days teaching pre-school and tutoring, and what it was like to make the move from Boston to NYC to pursue comedy writing. Then Josh and Anna call Taylor, who is looking to find a job as a mechanical engineer. (A job Anna is fully capable of commenting on...?) Regardless of the field, it's frustrating getting told you're "overqualified!" Josh also has an awesome sneaker collection and that is not on this episode.

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.
