The Use of Visuals and Symbolism in Conversations on Inequality and Human Currency

This week on Good One, host Jesse David Fox welcomes the “Egyptian Jon Stewart” Bassem Youssef to the podcast. A decade ago Youssef was a key figure in the Egyptian Revolution, hosting a satirical comedy show throughout it. But more recently Youssef garnered attention for his international viral appearance on Pier Morgan Uncensored. Youssef discusses how he approached the news segment as a piece of comedy and what satire can or cannot do.

Bassem is on tour now. Head to www.bassemyoussef.xyz/upcoming-shows for dates.

The Good One TV show, starring Mike Birbiglia, is premiering on March 26, on Peacock!
