When you’re driving, hopefully, you’re not watching a YouTube video, but if you’re listening to a podcast we’re in your car, we’re in your kitchen when you’re cooking…it’s just for me, when I listen to podcasts. G: Yeah, I think people feel more intimate with podcasts. G: So Frasier is the only radio host that you know? G: Yeah, this is your dream come true that there’s a backing vocal to international questions.Ī: I wanna be Frasier, but with music. That’s really great.Ī: Oh, I continue to just be so jazzed every time I get to sing to that. I love the little music to the international question. Also, it’s just like fun to be a radio host. And also as our audience grows up, like you, I think that podcasts are a really amazing avenue and medium and like when you discover a fun secret. It feels like a natural progression for where we’re going. It’s been really great and both of you have experience in podcasting, so what’s it been like transitioning JBU to an hour-long podcast format versus the shorter YouTube videos?Ī: I think the podcast is really exciting and satisfying because we can really dive into more topics. It’s like, be the thing that you needed when you were a kid, and I think that we really have that in our minds when we make stuff. To hear kids say, “you helped me realize I was bisexual” or that I could be that for somebody when people were that for me is exactly what I wanted. There were so few queer role models when I was growing up. I loved movies, loved comics, loved celebrities, so I always wanted to be that for someone else, especially as a queer person. I mean I still am, but I was a huge fangirl. G: When I was in high school, I was a big fan of things. I think the goal with the content we make is you know, obviously, we want to make people laugh, but we also want to talk about stuff that matters and kind of shine the light that life’s not perfect and that we’re all sort of a work in progress. The day before yesterday, a girl came up to me and said that I helped her get through high school. I was just wondering, how does it feel to know that you’ve been such great role models for young women, especially teenage girls, throughout your career?Īllison: I mean, that’s probably the best part of everything we do.
I think it’s really rare that there are women like you who share their mistakes and aren’t really afraid to say what they think. I’ve met a lot of other people around my age who’ve experienced the same thing with your channel. Yeah! It was a really formative part of my teenage-hood, and I still watch the show. So I just want to start off the interview by saying I’ve been watching JBU since I was about fifteen years old and it was.
#ALLISON RASKIN NOSE HOW TO#
Over the phone, we discussed podcasting, mental health, friendships, feminism, dating, and how to deal with creepy guys on the subway. Through the podcast, Raskin and Dunn have been able to dive even deeper into topics such as feminism and LGBT culture. The show is an hour long rather than ten- to fifteen-minute YouTube videos. This spring, the duo decided to transition JBU to the world of podcasting, to great success. Boasting nearly 730,000 subscribers, Raskin and Dunn have definitely established themselves on the platform. The channel has been a trailblazer for the YouTube comedy scene with its honest yet hilarious advice on issues young millennials face today. In the past few years, Raskin and Dunn have written two books together (the sequel to I Hate Everyone But You, titled Please Send Help, will be released this July), released their own podcasts (Dunn’s Bad With Money and Raskin’s Gossip), and continued to create new videos for JBU. In each episode, they discuss topics including feminism, friendship, LGBT issues, and dating.īoth women are hilarious, but as they’ve been moving forward with their careers, they’ve moved past their exaggerated personas. The channel was an instant hit with its advice show format and numerous skits in which the two portray exaggerated versions of themselves. Starting out as fan favorites on BuzzFeed, in 2015 the comedy duo left the company to start their own popular YouTube channel Just Between Us ( JBU).
Gaby Dunn and Allison Raskin are paving the way for female comedians on the Internet.
