Check It Out: Jacob Reed and Me

Hey, PPs! Lauren here! Jacob Reed is a buddy of mine from UCB. I'm loving his new podcast and I think you will enjoy it, too! Never fear, Threedom will return soon! Jacob Reed and Me is an investigative comedy that blends the heart of Heavyweight with the goose chase of Mystery Show. In each episode, host Jacob Reed (Jimmy Kimmel Live, Funny or Die) tracks down someone who shares his name. And, to answer the big questions about his own life, Jacob finds common ground in wildly different places. What begins as a simple search, quickly unravels into bizarre, unexpected adventures, as Reed uses unconventional methods to track down his namesakes. Among the 751 Jacob Reeds he's discovered, Season 1 introduces the audience to a porn star, a teacher, a jazz drummer, an Italian impresario, a teenage crooner, and a waitress at a greasy spoon who wants absolutely nothing to do with us. Each encounter opens a window into a strange corner of the world, blending personal discovery with wild, unpredictable storytelling, as moving as it is hilarious.
