2 Dope Queens

Comedian Chris Garcia returns to WNYC Studios with his new podcast Scattered , . Chris’s dad, Andres, was the centerpiece of his comedy act, and when he died two years ago, he had one dying wish: That his family scatter his ashes off the coast of Cuba -- the country he was born in, and the country that would break him. Chris Garcia’s mom? She doesn’t give a crap about dying wishes. She’s vowed to never go back to Cuba again.  So for now, the ashes are sitting on a shelf in Chris’s closet, between a Paul McCartney record and a Gizmo Halloween mask. As Chris tries to do right by his dad, he sets out to uncover the truth about a man he barely knew, who survived Castro’s labor camps only to lose his way all over again in search of the American dream.             Our theme song is "Please Won't Please" from  This is How You Smile by Helado Negro        

In honor of the new HBO specials, we've been revisiting our favorite  2 Dope Queens   podcast episodes. Of course, we had to close this series with the ultimate queen -- Michelle Obama. Phoebe and Jessica talk  to the former First Lady about her new memoir   , her hair journey, her struggle with the “Angry Black Female” stereotype, and how to raise bold women.
