Unemployed with Anna Roisman — Comedy
Unemployed with Anna Roisman

This is a safe space for anyone who has ever lost a job, left a job, or is sitting at their desks bored out of their mind right now! Based on the hit live digital talk show, “The Unemployed Show,” where Anna and guests would wear pajamas every week and commiserate about bad jobs, this podcast is a more intimate look into the world of unemployment and underemployment. Anna sat in front of a camera on her couch for ‘The Unemployed Show’ for 2 years and then got a job hosting a show in front of hundreds of thousands of people on the app HQ. Is she the fairy godmother of unemployed millennials? Some say yes! Hopefully this podcast will inspire you to pick yourself up and get a new job, or stay on your couch and chill all day. Either way, you’ll laugh with Anna and her guests about the insane things they did for work. Each week Anna interviews friends, comedians, and professionals about their worst (and best!) job stories and how they figured out life as an unemployed person. Oh and sometimes they call a stranger from the internet who is unemployed and in need of a pep talk. It’s sweet.

Show notes

This week's episode is with a very fun guest. She's an entrepreneur, a content strategist, a content creator, and the QUEEN OF CHALLAH, we have Dolly Meckler on the pod! Dolly was introduced to us as "Challah Dolly" which is her business she started up in the pandemic that has become a huge part of her life lately. She sells her challahs wholesale, and you can order. I highly recommend getting your hands on a loaf of her "everything seasoning challah" because I ate a loaf in a night recently. Her story of how she got into this venture is so good and she tells us all the details on this episode. She was new to LA at the beginning of the pandemic, working in social media, and cut to a year later she is selling her challah's at multiple places in New York City. But before baking, she was the president at her sorority, produced a web series in college, and was the person behind all of the tweets for a little HBO show called "Game Of Thrones." Her stories are awesome and you're going to love this episode. Go find Dolly at @DollyMeckler, @ChallahDolly, @HelloDolly and check out all her stuff.

Episode 68: "Dead Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose...This Job" with Connor Ratliff Jun 16, 2021

Show notes

This week's episode is with the very funny Connor Ratliff (Dead Eyes Podcast, The George Lucas Talk Show)! Connor actually started his podcast because of a specific story about an audition he once had for the movie Band Of Brothers in which Tom Hanks said he had...dead eyes. It's an incredible story and we are so lucky to have him tell it on this podcast! Don't worry, Connor's had some pretty incredible acting jobs since then, but those memories stick. Of course we talk about his jobs that weren't in entertainment like his longest job (and happiest) at the flagship Barnes and Noble store in New York City. Connor's stories about working at the bookstore are special and he really makes you feel like you're right there with him. Anna and Ellen also talk about the awkwardness of running into people you used to work with and whether it's fun to say hi or just completely ignore them. Do you say hi or hide?! Don't forget to follow Connor at @Connorratliff on social media, and check out his podcast Dead Eyes! Also, if you want to watch this episode?

They share very funny memories from performing together and discuss Amanda's transition into the world of wine. It's so admirable and cool that she followed a path that she was excelling at and we're so excited about all of the success she's had! There will always be theater to go back to!

Show notes

This week we have a good friend of Anna's on the podcast, the very funny comedian, Milly Tamarez (Late Night With Judge Milly, All D*ck Is Trash)!! Milly has had some awesome success writing for TV shows in the pandemic! But we of course take it back and talk all about her unemployed days, where she was able to take the time to reevaluate and book some gigs that aren't full time jobs. Milly also was the first guest EVER on livestream show, The Unemployed Show (what this podcast is based on) three years ago. Milly discusses working for her family's hair salon business, working at the bookstore in college, and then working for companies that sent her to Japan multiple times. We can't wait for Milly to take us to Japan one day, since she's an expert. Anna and Ellen discuss how rude it is to ghost someone after interviews. It's preferable to never leave someone hanging!

Episode 62: Canada's Hottest Job Is The Kinko's In Vancouver with Ophira Eisenberg May 05, 2021

Show notes

This week we have the wonderful and hilarious Ophira Eisenberg (NPR's A_sk Me Another_, The Moth) on the podcast! Ophira tells us what it has been like to not only work during a pandemic, but also work while her son has been at home. (And she's just as shocked as anyone that she had to raise him herself!?) LOL. She tells us about a comedy gig she booked in Aruba...that didn't happen. But before she was a successful comic and host, Ophira grew up in Canada and worked in her family's grocery store business. She also tells us about working at the coolest place in town which was of course the bead store, which she worked at a few times in her college years. But it's her work in IT and computer labs that really impressed us! Ophira tells the greatest stories and we're so blessed to have them on this episode. It's an hour of laughs, so we hope you love it! Anna and Ellen talk about Ellen's first day back on set for a job and how different things are after not having to leave your apartment for months (years?)... Anna talks about working with Airtime and how much fun she's having working on this app. Follow Ophira at @OphiraE and if you can catch her doing standup? Lucky you!

Episode 61: Finance Seemed Cool, but Stand Up Comedy Seemed Cooler with Matthew Broussard Apr 28, 2021

Show notes

This week's guest is a very funny comedian and friend, Matthew Broussard (Comedy Central, Conan, Fallon, She Does Standup Too Podcast)! Anna and Matthew reminisce about the Jewish comedic gigs they've gotten throughout the pandemic, some of them that they worked on together! They are the only Jews in comedy in NYC right now, so book them. Before becoming a successful comic, Matthew was a camp counselor in Texas, worked as an analyst in finance, and even worked remotely (before it was a thing in a pandemic). But it's the story about having his car broken into and losing his job the same day he was in the middle of a comedy competition that we love. Matthew's perseverance is inspiring, and he is the definition of working toward what you want to do! You're gonna love this Ep. Anna and Ellen also discuss Anna's ballsy move of sending a message through LinkedIn for a company she wants to work for. A DM on LinkedIn in 2021?! Unheard of! Though they probably will never read it, it felt powerful to try. Make sure to follow Matthew on all socials @MondayPunday and listen to his podcast She Does Stand Up Too?

Show notes

This week, we're turning 60!!! 60 and Fabulous. And we have an amazing guest on, the hilarious Morgan Miller (Famously Dumped Podcast)! Morgan and Anna are old friends so they reminisce about their wild partying days from way back, and it's an awesome reunion. They also get into Morgan's jobs, starting with collecting pine cones. Anna and Morgan get into their time as Office Managers who were hungover a lot at work (because of comedy at night). Morgan also toured colleges, waited tables in Union Square, did some nannying, and coached a lot of improv before she up and left for LA! Then there was a pandemic and she started an awesome podcast. Also, Anna and Ellen discuss an article about unpaid internships and how many millennials went through this and weren't told it was wrong to work for free when it's totally wrong!!! Knowing your worth is so important, even from the beginning. It's an ongoing conversation, so please let us know your stories of shitty internships! This is a really special episode and we THANK YOU for being a part of this journey with all of us for 60 episodes!!!
