3 Things: Tanishq Abraham, Amy Poehler, and Blizzards / by Chris Duffy

Hi friends!

If you're new to these emails, welcome! Every Saturday, I send out a short email with three great things. I've also got some of my upcoming shows featured below. If you know anyone who you think would enjoy this, feel free to spread the word! They can sign up here or to see the archive of past emails, click here.

SHOW UPDATE:  On Monday, February 16, I'm going to be celebrating President's Day by camping out at WFMU for the evening. I'll be a guest on Jo Firestone's hilarious Dr. Gameshow at 7 p.m. ET and then on The Goddamn Dave Hill Show at 9. You can listen to both live (and call in!) at WFMU.org


Also, Boston people! There are just a few tickets left for You're the Expert on Saturday, Feb. 21. You can get yours here: Link

Ok, on to this week's list!
 

Thing I Think Is Great:


Conan O'Brien decided to invite child prodigy Tanishq Abraham on as a guest and it was the one of the greatest decisions in television history. Watch as Tanishq shares some of his favorite science jokes and mercilessly mocks Conan. It's pure joy. Tanishq Abraham on Conan

 

Thing That Made Me Laugh:

Amy Poehler was celebrated at Harvard recently as the Hasty Pudding Woman of the Year. Per tradition, the members of the Hasty Pudding club paraded Poehler through the streets of Cambridge and then roasted her. Luckily for everyone, Amy roasted them right back. Here are the highlights from her spectacular skewering.

1 Interesting Thing:

Snow has been disrupting my life and travel quite a lot in the past few weeks. That's true for many people on the East Coast. But it can too easy to focus only on our own transportation hassles and not think about the others around us. Here's a beautifully written piece by Peabody award winning journalist Barbara Howard about an experience that jolted her back into awareness.  A Blizzard of Perspective.
