Mad House Podcast
Hosted by Mad House
A New York comedian's weekly audio diary, where she riffs on personal drama, pop culture, and life on the road, often with fellow comics.
An audio diary and comedy hangout session from stand-up Maddy Smith. Solo episodes find her processing the week's events, from apartment building squabbles and vacation mishaps to her ongoing relationship with marijuana. Guest episodes feature fellow comedians for loose, riff-heavy conversations that feel like eavesdropping on a green room hang before a show.
“The show's blend of solo, diary-style episodes and traditional guest interviews is notable. Maddy's unfiltered candor about personal issues, like her stories of damaging a boat or dealing with a UTI on vacation, creates a raw and relatable feel that stands out from more structured comedy podcasts.”
