John Early is here to discuss his brilliant comedy special and album, Now More Than Ever, life in Los Angeles and how Toronto works as a city in a province in Canada, the talented Lemon Squares band, his remarkable skills as a singer and taking up guitar with a little help from the Beatles, how his talents were honed singing hymns in church, anarchy and normalcy, his working relationship with Kate Berlant, getting into Neil Young and why one of his songs is a surprising centrepiece in his new special, how the HBO version and record differ and complement each other, what are we all really doing on the internet, his comedy and music heroines, Vicky with a V, Bernie Sanders, and American politics, hitting the road for a tour with all new comedy and new songs, other future plans, and much more.
