WUFT Morning Edition host, Glenn Richards, recently spoke with comedian Paula Poundstone. Postponed a couple times due to the pandemic, Poundstone will finally be appearing at the Curtis M. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts in Gainesville on Friday, December 1 at 7:30 p.m.

Well-known to WUFT listeners as a panelist on NPR’s Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!,  she is also the host of her own weekly comedy podcast, Nobody Listens to Paula Poundstone, co-hosted with fellow Wait Wait panelist, Adam Felber. It’s “The Podcast voted 'Best Waste of Time' three years running” with new episodes every Tuesday.

They spoke about post-pandemic travel, her love of live audiences, planking with pets, and why she doesn't go see other comedians perform.
