The Gist - For Dana Gould, Editing Is No Laughing Matter

All this week on The Gist, we’re down with O.P.P.: Other People’s Podcasts. In this episode, Dana Gould explains why he’s decided to make a tightly edited comedy podcast: “I didn’t want to do my version of Marc Maron’s podcast. I thought: Marc’s doing his podcast. Why do I have to do his podcast?” Plus, we’ll hear an excerpt from the “Summer Testicular” episode of The Dana Gould Hour.
