Podcast episode 397ish: Fatima Dhowre

Wow, this one's a bit late. But that's the beauty of podcasts – they're here for the long-run. You can listen to them through the lifespan of the internet. Maybe revisit this episode in twenty or thirty years just for fun. Fatima Dhowre visited the What's So Funny? studios a few weeks back and we had a lovely chat. The standup comic is a regular on Morgan Brayton & Other People on OutTV and hosts the monthly Roast Battle at Little Mountain Gallery. She told me everything I've always wanted to know about Somalia and more. Turns out she's been there dozens of times in her life. We also talked about her love of roasts, and we inadvertently stumbled onto her secret talent. Plus it turned out that she had a special relationship with our guest announcer's namesake uncle. The episode was full of surprises!

July 19: Fatima Dhowre

We're back in studio tonight. And with a brand new guest, too! Fatima Dhowre is a standup comic who hosts a regular show at Little Mountain Gallery called Roast Battle which is exactly what you'd think it is: two comics going at it one on one, with two judges interrupting and getting in zingers of their own. It's a lot of fun. So we'll talk about that. And I'm also fascinated with what Somalia is like this time of year (or any time of year). Fatima has actually been there on more than one occasion because who wouldn't want to go to Somalia, right? She's also a regular on Morgan Brayton & Other People on Out TV (she's one of the other people). And we'll talk about lots more, too, I'm sure.

We're on the air at 11 pm in Vancouver (not sure what time that is in Somalia). But if you happen to be reading this from lands far, far away, you can listen in at coopradio.org.
