Description

This week we have the wonderful and hilarious Ophira Eisenberg (NPR's A_sk Me Another_, The Moth) on the podcast! Ophira tells us what it has been like to not only work during a pandemic, but also work while her son has been at home. (And she's just as shocked as anyone that she had to raise him herself!?) LOL. She tells us about a comedy gig she booked in Aruba...that didn't happen. But before she was a successful comic and host, Ophira grew up in Canada and worked in her family's grocery store business. She also tells us about working at the coolest place in town which was of course the bead store, which she worked at a few times in her college years. But it's her work in IT and computer labs that really impressed us! Ophira tells the greatest stories and we're so blessed to have them on this episode. It's an hour of laughs, so we hope you love it! Anna and Ellen talk about Ellen's first day back on set for a job and how different things are after not having to leave your apartment for months (years?)... Anna talks about working with Airtime and how much fun she's having working on this app. Follow Ophira at @OphiraE and if you can catch her doing standup? Lucky you!

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.
