The Michael Che Way
In the ring, if you’re not prepared, you won’t survive. Today’s guest, Michael Che, prepared himself on the streets of New York—selling t-shirts out of a duffle bag, grinding at open mics, and hustling his way into network television. What started as hustling t-shirts on Prince Street—where one day he’d make $40 and the next, $1,000—turned into a relentless pursuit of comedy. A chance encounter led him to SNL , where he quickly realized, “This is literally Harvard for comedy production.” Now, as the co-anchor of Weekend Update , Che is still in the fight, delivering knockout jokes every Saturday night.

Introducing Goodbye Uncle Jack (PODCAST EXCLUSIVE EPISODE) from MrBallen Podcast: Strange, Dark & Mysterious Stories. Follow the show: MrBallen Podcast: Strange, Dark & Mysterious Stories Late one afternoon in the summer of 2014, a pawnshop owner was updating his inventory logs when the bell above the front door jingled. A young couple walked inside and approached the counter. The man said he had a few items to sell, then opened a drawstring bag and dumped the contents onto the counter. A collection of gold chains, rings, and watches spilled out. Many of the pieces were twisted and mangled. And instantly, the hairs on the pawnshop owner’s neck stood up. Because everything about this interaction – from the large quantity of damaged jewelry to the careless way the pieces had been thrown in a bag together – told him that these items were stolen. And this made the owner extremely nervous, because he had cash in the register and didn’t know what the thieves might be capable of. He needed to get them out of the store quickly, without revealing that he was on to them. So, he told the couple he didn’t have enough cash to buy the jewelry now, but would send some pictures to his broker to see if they were interested. The couple agreed and let him take the photos. As soon as they were gone, the owner called the police, and it soon became clear he’d stumbled onto something much bigger than theft. Because this jewelry was linked to a murder case that had rocked a small, suburban community and baffled police.

What Shaped Jon Stewart?
From a punk club in Trenton to the national stage, this is the story of a comedian who became a cultural cornerstone, often called the most trusted news voice since Walter Cronkite. How did a kid from Central New Jersey, armed with curiosity and a sharp wit, rise to redefine satire, news, and comedy itself? In this conversation, originally released in 2023, Radio explores the formative years of someone who turned late-night gigs for hummus into a mastery of reading rooms, connecting with people, and bringing the world into focus through his lens.

Sam Jay: 'It's all About Deciding'
She’s more than her identity—she’s a fighter, a storyteller, and a sharp observer of the world around her. Sam Jay has written her name on the wall at SNL , penned her own hit show ( Pause with Sam Jay ), and created unforgettable specials like Salute Me or Shoot Me. But beyond her accolades, Sam’s signature is her ability to fight not just for herself, but for those in her corner. In this episode, Sam shares the life lessons that shaped her—from discovering the layers of her identity, to finding her comedic voice at the family dinner table, where laughter and wit were survival skills. "My grandmother was a verbal assassin," Sam says. And it was likely her quick wit that inspired Sam's storytelling, as did the moments of family loss. Her resilience and authenticity continues to fuel Sam's dreams. As she sums up her navigational method in this 2020 conversation, “I just kept leaning into me."

Questlove's Roots (Encore)
[REPLAY] Son of doo-wop singer Lee Andrews, and the greatest hip-hop drummer of all time: this is the story of the Roots co-founder, Ahmir Khalib Thompson, aka Questlove. (This conversation was recorded in 2020). Before he was 10 years old, Ahmir was on wardrobe duty, knew how to run the tech for his parent's performances, and just two years later, filled in for his dad's drummer who'd broken an arm. When he transferred into a creative and performing arts school, a high stakes moment trying to impress a girl led him to spin a tale of being in a band with his classmate Tariq Trotter (a lie that became the truth eventually). After busking on bucket drums and then starting to find a trail into music careers, Tariq and Ahmir missed the train, but that wasn’t their train. Their train was bound for glory. Left in no man’s land, Questlove and Black Thought must find their roots. At the point in Ahmir's fight journey--when the jabs starts working, and you find the right hand--he.begins to define the pace. Questlove is about to find both hands working–and his footwork’s not bad either. There are new match ups, and new media, to conquer.
