Wrong Turns with Jameela Jamil

Jameela welcomes two guests who damn near made her pass out: actor, writer comedian and singer Jordan Firstman (English Teacher, album "Secrets") and writer, comedian, actress and podcaster Megan Gailey (The Roast of Tom Brady, Sports Bitches podcast). Jordan experiences his own Rear Window, while Megan is more concerned with her back door. Listen for new episodes every Thursday, and please rate and review.

We can think of no better way to launch a podcast than with our first two guests: Mae Martin and Bob the Drag Queen. Mae (Handsome podcast, debut album “I’m a TV,” and upcoming Netflix series “Wayward”) shares their secret crush gone horribly wrong, and perhaps the most incorrect way to use a spatula. Bob (RuPaul’s Drag Race winner, The Traitors, NYT best seller “Harriet Tubman: Live in Concert: A Novel”) reveals their ultimate kindergarten nightmare and the least comfortable way to extinguish a roast.

This week, Jameela is joined by author & illustrator Florence Given (Women Living Deliciously) to talk finding joy in your life, being a playful activist, and opening your own doors of self-expression.
