Over the course of your life, you’ve probably had at least a dozen email addresses. And I’m going to go out on a limb and say that at least a couple of those have been super embarrassing.
Comedian Nicole Drespel (of Broad City fame) can relate. Not only has she had deeply mortifying email addresses, but she’s also sent more than her fair share of ridiculous emails.
And all things email — from Amazon confirmations to reenacting Gchats of yore — make perfect podcast fodder. Inbox is the podcast where Drespel and her pal Matt Stroup mine people’s email inboxes for comedy gold.
