There’s No Excuse with Adam Newman
Have You Heard This
The Have You Heard This podcast is a behind-the-scenes look at the process of creating stand-up comedy and the conversations comedians have with each other while testing out new material. In each episode, host Aaron Hertzog is joined by a guest comedian with a new idea they’d like to talk through with the goal of developing their premise into a finished bit ready for the stage. Aaron interviews his guests about the inspiration for their idea and how the topic fits their individual artistic voices but the focus of the conversation is to explore the comedy in the premise through stories, riffs, jokes, and anything else that leads to laughs.
