Some might say it’s a golden age of comedy. Through mediums like podcasting and thanks to platforms like YouTube and Netflix where a new comedy special drops every week, and TikTok making “crowd work comics” overnight stars, comedy is bigger than ever. In the vacuum of Hollywood and traditional media’s collapse, comedy and podcasting have filled the void.

But what happens when subversive comedy becomes mainstream? When the Jesters become Kings, who keeps them in check? Have we reached peak comedy? And if so—what’s next?

Welcome to Real America with Bridget Phetasy — a show where Bridget sits down with real people from all walks of life to have honest, wide-ranging conversations about the issues shaping our country.

From politics and culture to personal stories and life lessons, Real America brings nuance, humor, and curiosity back to the national conversation. If you’re tired of outrage and ready for something real, you’re in the right place.

New episodes drop regularly — don’t forget to subscribe and join the conversation in the comments.
