Ep. 135: Mike Bridenstine is a funny, funny guy.  Originally from Iowa, Mike moved to Chicago to begin his comedy career and then made his way to Los Angeles.  On the West Coast, his career has thrived onstage, on tv, and as a writer: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3619911/

Just recently, he launched his new comedy album, The Hungry Wolf Hunts Best, which you can find on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Hungry-Wolf-Hunts-Best/dp/B0737BYJ54

In addition, Mike is in an interracial marriage (he's White and married to a Black woman).  So, on this episode, listen as Mike talks about comedy and about race, racism, and his heightened sensitivity to racial issues.  It's compelling stuff.
