E293. Troy Conrad is Addicted to Failure

Bridget sits down with photographer and comedian, Troy Conrad for a wide-ranging conversation covering how Troy got started in photography, shooting a Golden Age of comedy at the Comedy Store, the rare opportunity of knowing you’re in the middle of something special while you’re experiencing it, his experimentation with various religions and self-help groups, and why he’s addicted to failure. They discuss the state of comedy in recent years, when comedians took an outsized role in the culture and were held to a higher standard than politicians, the day “woke” died, the challenges of social media and technology addiction, creativity, the lasting impact of published work, and their plans to start a left-handed cult.
