There are more than a handful of podcasts that dive into the anxieties, fears, insecurities, etc. of comedians, but they can often be, in an enlightening way, sobering.

Candice Thompson shines in her new podcast The Struggle as she strikes a balance between sympathy and empathy for all sorts of issues while also maintaining an undeniably upbeat tone with plenty of charisma to spare. Thompson is only a few episodes in, but her, her co-hosts Mal Hall and Jackie Fabulous, and her guests (Ramon Rivas and Justine Marino thus far) show off how struggles can translate directly into something that can be laughed at when gaining awareness and a bit of agency over said struggle.

So, listen, subscribe, and most importantly enjoy The Struggle with Candice Thompson.
