Brilliant comedy multi-hyphenate Jamie Loftus (The Bechdel Cast, My Year in Mensa) remotely sits down with TCB Director Jake Kroeger for this latest episode of the TCB Field Report. As Jamie has done a wide variety of live-streams, she has already figured a bit of what is working for her in that space, namely brandishing her cosplay sword for wondrous comedic effect.

Jamie and Jake also dive into how the pandemic has leveled the playing field for comedy and entertainment-at-large, comedians finding that they can actually get paid for their comedy by asking via Venmo (for now), and ponder how what sort of perspective the world will have on comedies about rich people going forward.

For what started off as a sort of stunt for a writing assignment, “a bit” if you will, the hysterical comedian/writer/animator/podcaster Jamie Loftus got herself into quite a quagmire by testing into the high IQ society known as Mensa.

A year of her life was thrown into a tizzy as she became the subject of ridicule from certain factions within Mensa, only to meet up with some of them and get surprised even further. Jamie recounts all of what happens as well as some of the history of Mensa and IQ tests in general in this podcast mini-series, My Year in Mensa.

The four episodes is as captivating as it is funny and illuminating not only about Mensa, but the idea of identity and being inclusive/exclusive. Give My Year in Mensa a listen wherever you listen to podcasts.
