So What Do You Really Do?

This week on the podcast is good friend from Baltimore, now living in New York City, writer and comedian Ben Rosen. Ben and I met before I started doing comedy through mutual friends, one a comedian, one who wasn’t. We instantly got a long. We didn’t really keep in touch other than over Twitter and Facebook, so when I started to do standup, I messaged him asking if he wanted to hit an open mic with me, to which he replied, “are you in New York? Because that’s where I live now.” Ben moved there years ago to pursue comedy and eventually, became a writer for Buzzfeed and a advertising data analysis for Twitter. In the podcast we get into those jobs, comedy, New York comedy, how internet advertising works, his upcoming marriage, and more. In addition to comedy Ben also writes the weekly Ravens Funny Pages column for the Baltimore Raven’s Fan Page. Music in this episode by my good friends Scott Lester & The Dirty Dottys.
