    Our guest this week is Rekha Shankar (she/her) She is a comedian, writer, actor and filmmaker originally from Philadelphia, now based in Los Angeles, California!

Throughout her career, she has worked tirelessly to develop her unique voice and perspective, and ultimately hopes to achieve her goal of "being a professional idiot".
