Comedian Hari Kandabolu Chops It Up w/ The Champs

Hari Kandabolu is an NYC-based comedic start-up that's more than just the big brother of your favorite former Das Racist hype-man Dap. He's also about as socially and politically sharp of a stand-up as you get in the comedic world and hosts a pretty damn good podcast with little bro called the Untitled Kandabolu Brothers Podcast, which features lengthy and hilarious discussions with local comedians and musicians like Wyatt Cenac, W. Kamau Bell and Anand Wilder (of Yeasayer).

But that's enough about his podcast, as today we embark on a very (ok, maybe not all that) different sort of podcast. Namely, that of Neal Brennan and Moshe Kasher's The Champs, during which they delve into Kandabolu's come-up as a stand-up from Queens, deconstructing "vintage racism", pursuing a Master's Degree while working on his funnyman chops, attempting to emulate the give-no-fucks disposition of Paul Mooney when he was getting started and so much more. There's a whole lot packed into these 80-minutes of comedic fodder and chit-chat, so sit back and enjoy all of the laughs. You can listen to Hari Kandabolu's session with The Champs below and check out his own podcast right here.
