David Letterman, Nikki Glaser, and more join Neal Brennan on ‘The Blocks Podcast’
Comedian Neal Brennan chats with friends and colleagues on “The Blocks Podcast,” a new series based on his Netflix special all about how he feels like an outlier. Brennan and his guests explore what makes them feel isolated, lonely, and how they rise above their challenges. This series sheds light on personal blocks you might be struggling with yourself – from anxiety and insecurities to imposter syndrome, what makes you tick, and more.
Stream Brennan’s thought-provoking and comedic interviews in any order with the average episode clocking in under 90 minutes. It’s fascinating to hear candid conversations about how heavy-hitters prevail despite their “blocks.”
David Letterman joined Brennan on the debut episode. They talked about The Late Night Show, the evolution of stand-up comedy, his life, commitment, writing process, the anxiety behind it, performance energy, why basing your self-esteem from accomplishments is a slippery slope, and much more. Brennan also discusses his personal hiccups on the podcast.
Bert Kreischer stopped by an episode to talk about things that make him feel like something is wrong. He discussed being competitive, sensitivity, insecurity, death, and cynicism. Kreischer also reacted to David Letterman’s voicemail. As a podcaster, Kreischer hosts “Bertcast,” “2 Bears, 1 Cave,” and “The Bill Bert Podcast.”
Brennan’s writing credits include Singled Out (1995), All That (1996), Chappelle’s Show (2006), The Approval Matrix (2014), The Daily Show (2016) and Comedians of the World (2019), and others. Brennan wrote for Saturday Night Live three times – when Dave Chappelle hosted in 2016, when Aziz Ansari hosted in 2017, and when Woody Harrelson hosted in 2019. Brennan previously hosted the podcast “How Neal Feel.”
