比尔·马赫解释了他为什么除了每周的HBO节目《实时与比尔·马赫》外，还要制作YouTube播客《Club Random》。他认为《实时》节目专注于政治，嘉宾必须对世界大事有深入了解，这限制了他与其他人的交流。而《Club Random》则可以让他与更多人，包括那些对政治不感兴趣的名人，进行更轻松的对话，讨论各种话题。他认为自己对技术的掌握能力有限，这影响了他对新媒体平台的运用。他回顾了自己的职业生涯，从在喜剧俱乐部表演到出演情景喜剧和电影，再到最终专注于政治评论。他认为自己对政治的兴趣源于父亲的职业，以及从小在家里接触到的新闻信息。他认为自己是一个“大器晚成”的人，很多事情都是在他年长之后才实现的。 卡拉·斯威舍与比尔·马赫讨论了他职业生涯的转变，以及他对新技术的看法。她还询问了他对取消文化的看法，以及他对年轻一代的一些观点的批评。

Shownotes Transcript

When it comes to political comedy, Bill Maher is practically an institution — he’s been hosting a late-night political talk show since 1993 (with a brief hiatus in 2002-03, after Politically Incorrect was  canceled following a 9/11 comment). And now the host of *Real Time with Bill Maher *has a new book out: What This Comedian Said Will Shock You. Kara sat with Bill in his “den of iniquity” to discuss his childhood, politics, the war in Gaza, and, of course, cancel culture.
