Episode notes

My goal was always sort of for people to feel seen and less alone. It's a double thing with league. Like in Broad City it feels like everybody it feels very like the human condition is seen. The full stories are being honored which doesn't happen. We got a chance to talk to Penny Marshall before she passed awayWhich is incredible. And we're also exploring the white passing women and what it was like for Latino women Estee and Lupe those characters are dealing with this whole other experience, too.

1. How to know when it’s time to get out or stick it out – and the quit that set Abbi on course to meet Ilana and create Broad City.

2. The life lessons of improv comedy: How to get out of your head, trust your choices, and make something together.

3. Abbi and Abby share similar but opposite stories about relationships that changed their lives (and whether to tuck or untuck shirts).

4. Why reimagining A League of Their Own was the Next Right project for Abbi – and how its label as a “queer show” frustrates her.
