Sooo Many White Guys is a podcast hosted by Phoebe Robinson.[1] It is produced by WNYC Studios.[2] As a response to the predominance of white males in comedy, the podcast features guests who are mostly non-white, non-males.[3] The podcast hosts women, people of color, and members of the LGBTQ community.[4][5] The podcast's guests include Lizzo, podcast executive producer Ilana Glazer, Janet Mock, Hari Kondabolu, Nia Long, Gina Rodriguez, Hasan Minhaj, Roxane Gay, and Constance Wu.[6]
The podcast debuted on June 27, 2016.[2] It is a spin-off of WNYC's 2 Dope Queens comedy podcast featuring Robinson and Jessica Williams.
Sooo Many White Guys is taped at WNYC studios in New York City.[7] Each podcast typically runs between 30 and 45 minutes.[7] Each episode features interviews with an individual from either the music, comedy, and LGBTQ, or acting industries.[8] Issues discussed on the podcast include race, and feminism.[9]
Host Phoebe Robinson says of the podcast, "I figured it might be cool to change it to a talk show and just get to talk to women, people of color, people from the LGBTQ+ community that I think are really fascinating and awesome and that just aren't highlighted as much. And then that way I could focus on them and just kind of turn the whole interview process on its head and, you know, have one token white guy — obviously, a person I still respect, but just flipping the ratio."[3]
