Episode Description

In this special weekend re-release, Zibby speaks to comedian, essayist, blogger, and TV writer Samantha Irby about Wow, No Thank You, the unflinching, riotous, hysterical, relatable, edgy, and unabashedly raunchy collection of essays that quickly became a #1 New York Times bestseller. 


"She writes with such wisdom about our culture and such honesty about herself. And nobody—but nobody—is funnier. Every time I read Irby, I feel freer.”—Glennon Doyle


"Her unapologetic embrace of all caps and jokes that are so hilarious and also so true...will make you wish you were friends.”—Bustle


“Stay-up-all-night, miss-your-subway-stop, spit-out-your-beverage funny.”—Jia Tolentino
