“I acquire to be fearless.” ~Martha Chaves

In this episode I speak with comedian & activist Martha Chaves.  Martha talks about several subjects including her early rebellious years in Nicaragua, Charlie Chaplin rip offs, coming out to herself, Carol Burnett in Spanish, the titanic effort of comedy in a second language, recording sets, writing with Kenny Robinson, not being ready and saying yes anyway, feminism, stepping away from twitter fights,  the good bad and ugly of cancel culture and more!
