Upstream podcast talks with Marcella Arguello and Katie Rich

This week we’re live from the Out of Bounds Comedy Festival in Austin, Texas, a weeklong tangle of standup, improv, and sketch. One of the fest’s highlights happened on Friday night, when former Texas Sen. Wendy Davis told stories at the Spider House Ballroom and improvisers turned them into scenes. She spoke of her 13-hour 2013 filibuster in protest of anti-abortion legislation SB5, and the intimate details of a faulty catheter.
