EP. 33 — Who Runs Funny or Die?

Hopefully most of you have visited Funny or Die since Monday and know about our new partnership with them. If you haven’t, this episode will answer a lot of questions. Even if you have, you’ll learn from Dick Glover, President of Funny or Die, how the partnership came to be, how the website itself came to be, and what it’s like to work for such a popular comedy entity.
