A Tight 45 with Tabari McCoy – Episode 057 – Comedian/Author Ben Katzner

A Tight 45 with Tabari McCoy

Ben Katzner (@shaqkatzner on Twitter) is a comedian originally from the Midwest who now can be found all around New York City slinging jokes. Luckily, that's all he's slinging – on stage at least.
For if he was the lead character in the children's book that debuted this year, let's just say things would get messy to say the least.
Ben's work can be seen in the likes of several prominence places around the Internet, including like Insider, Buzzfeed and The National Lampoon Network. Earlier this year saw him debut his graphic (pun intended in a good-natured way) novel Hello, My Name is Poop. Published by Vault Comics/Wonderbound books, the story revolves around a young African-American named Will Poupé who faces the normal problems associated with adolescence. Then he moves to a new school, runs afoul (pun intended) of some people ... And then gets blessed with a new name that comes with certain privileges ...
On this episode (out on all major platforms on Wednesday, Nov. 17, 2021), Ben talks with Tabari about their Midwest roots, adoption, his campaign to free a no-longer imprisoned rapper and adoption on a fun-filled episode featuring two dudes just having fun conversing. In these crazy days, isn't that enough?
