Jackie Kashian asks about handsome superheroes
Evaluation and Summary
Handsome, hosted by Tig Notaro, Mae Martin, and Fortune Feimster, features stand-up comedian Jackie Kashian as a guest. The episode centers on Kashian's question about handsome superheroes, which the hosts apparently find hilarious enough to highlight prominently. Beyond that central premise, the show notes indicate the episode covers several tangential topics: "business goose," Fortune LLC (likely a recurring bit or segment), and a discussion about figuring out bra sizes. The episode runs 59 minutes. The show notes emphasize that Kashian "makes us laugh *hard*" with her superhero question, suggesting comedy is the primary draw. The episode appears to follow the Handsome format of comedians riffing on absurd or mundane topics with the three hosts, though the exact structure and how much time is devoted to each topic remains unclear from the available information.
Verdict: Limited source material makes a confident verdict difficult, but the scattered topics and vague descriptions suggest a typical comedy podcast episode that may entertain fans of the hosts but lacks clear focus or substance.
