Good One: A Podcast About Jokes is a podcast about - well - jokes, and the people who tell them. Each week, a comedian will play one of their jokes and then break it down with Vulture.com Senior Editor Jesse David Fox.

From Vulture and the Vox Media Podcast Network.

This week on 'Good One' comedian and actor Bill Burr sits down for a conversation about the trajectory of his career, from his early, angry days to his Broadway run and his two-time Emmy nominated special, 'Bill Burr: Drop Dead Years', streaming now on Hulu. The album, 'Drop Dead Years', is available August 1 anywhere you stream music.
