About this episode
This morning, we asked, “Is there a place for comedy on a business podcast?” With Marc on vacation, stand-up comedian and podcaster Amanda Yoa joins us to share how humor helps podcasters connect, keep things fresh, and stay true to themselves. She talks about her journey from chasing trends to finding her voice, offers tips on developing a character like her signature “Pam from Port Richmond,” and explains why letting loose might be the smartest move you make behind the mic.
