About Choice Words with Samantha Bee
We make a lot of choices, every single day. Some explode, some implode, most we barely remember. Each week on Choice Words, Samantha Bee sits down with people she admires to examine the biggest choices they’ve made in their lives and the ripple effects those decisions have had. What’s a story a journalist took a chance on that changed history? A vote that a politician never should have cast? A song lyric a musician came up with in the shower that made them instantly famous? Sam’s made a lot of choices, too. She may have to interview herself about starting this podcast.

Everyone after us was born with it and they can take it or leave it. And they are seeing there's nothing scarier than, for a little kid than watching adults act like little kids. Like you want your adults to act like adults and there's nothing less mature than the way adults act online. […]
