Choice Words with Samantha Bee

Choice Words with Samantha Bee

Lemonada Media

We make a lot of choices, every single day. Some explode, some implode, most we barely remember. Each week on Choice Words, Samantha Bee sits down with people she admires to examine the biggest choices they’ve made in their lives and the ripple effects those decisions have had. What’s a story a journalist took a chance on that changed history? A vote that a politician never should have cast? A song lyric a musician came up with in the shower that made them instantly famous?

Sam’s made a lot of choices, too. She may have to interview herself about starting this podcast.

  • 185 - Red, White, and Blue or Green…Card? (with Lauren Ash)

    Fellow Canadian and actor Lauren Ash joins Sam to talk about why she continues to live on a Green Card rather than apply for US citizenship, and why on her 40th birthday she decided to try a career in music. She talks about why she’s not as easily swayed as when she was younger but how small decisions unravel her, and how helpful it is to have that special Canadian pragmatism. They also talk about what you lose with shorter seasons of TV, not getting SNL, and the everlasting importance of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

  • 184 - Shy Voter or Vocal Voter? (with Errin Haines)

    With less than two weeks until Election Day, editor-at-large of The 19th* Errin Haines joins Sam to talk about news coverage leading up to the most significant election in recent memory and whether or not shy voters will make a surprising difference. They talk about the importance of being open to the best idea in the room and how Errin sticks to a decision once she’s made it—unless it’s for a last-minute flight change—and how the biggest decision of her life was actually made for her—when her mother adopted her as a baby.

  • 183 - Dishwasher or Daredevil? (with Jenny Slate)

    Jenny Slate sits down with Sam to talk about the difference between FOMO and regret and how sometimes you need to bust through a wall to take a big swing. Jenny talks about how she is naturally risk averse and giving birth was the most dangerous (and best) situation she ever put herself in. They talk about Jenny’s need to do the dishes before she can enjoy a meal and philosophize over the clothes that ghosts in the future will wear—perhaps athleisure?

  • 181 - Basketball Star or Bipartisan Leader? (with Governor Maura Healey)

    Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey joins Sam to talk about trading her career as a (yes) professional basketball player in Austria for law school and later to serve as Attorney General and Governor of Massachusetts. They talk about how Governor Healey happily works across the aisle with non-crazy Republican colleagues, and why some of them are voting for Kamala Harris. They talk about struggling with small decisions like choosing household items, her stint as a cocktail waitress, and of course, there is an unprompted mention of Dunkin Donuts.
