## Resource

Hollywood’s been collapsing to the right. Cancelling projects that lean right, refusing to acknowledge the genocide in Palestine, and generally capitulating to Trump’s second term. Many people in the entertainment industry are doing their best to just keep their heads down, but not Joel Kim Booster. On top of being a successful actor, writer, and comedian, over the past few years Joel has made a name for himself in his outspoken and unsparing views of the modern political moment, from the big stage down to local politics. This week, Adam talks with Joel about what it’s like to work in an industry that’s abandoned progressive views once they were no longer convenient.  -- SUPPORT THE SHOW ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/adamconover SEE ADAM ON TOUR: https://www.adamconover.net/tourdates/ SUBSCRIBE to and RATE Factually! on: » Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/factually-with-adam-conover/id1463460577 » Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0fK8WJw4ffMc2NWydBlDyJ About Headgum: Headgum is an LA & NY-based podcast network creating premium podcasts with the funniest, most engaging voices in comedy to achieve one goal: Making our audience and ourselves laugh.
