Description

This week's episode of Unemployed is very special! Anna and Ellen discuss Anna's 2 year HQ anniversary, and then we have on one of Anna's oldest friends in comedy, the hilarious James Coker! You may know James from his brilliant sketches with Coker & Stratton, or those Spectrum commercials that air every few minutes. But before his comedy career, James worked at Balls Hamburgers and we love it. He also moved to NYC (ok New Brunswick which is v far from NYC) and started working as a Production Assistant on TV shows. Anna and James talk about all the gigs he had, partying too hard at an internship, and how he landed working on '30 Rock'! Also in this episode, they take a call from longtime listener and new friend Eric, who was working on 5(!!) political campaigns and after last week found himself unemployed. Anna and James give him a pep talk and discuss his future endeavors! It's a really special episode, so don't miss out.

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.
