Good One: A Podcast About Jokes is a podcast about - well - jokes, and the people who tell them. Each week, a comedian will play one of their jokes and then break it down with Vulture.com Senior Editor Jesse David Fox.

From Vulture and the Vox Media Podcast Network.

Good One: A Podcast About Jokes

This week on 'Good One', instead of a traditional deep dive interview, comedian Jay Jurden joins Jesse to unpack the biggest comedy news story happening right now – the Riyadh Comedy Festival; Why giant checks warp choices, what “free speech” really means when a contract bans criticism, and the difference between performing in a country and performing for its rulers. Jay talks personal safety as a queer comic, the soft-power calculus behind overpaying American stars, and why “come back safe—then we clown you” is the longstanding rule.
