Ready Set Blow Podcast

The Ready Set Blow Podcast, hosted by Randy Valerio, is brought to you weekly each and every Wednesday. Randy is an LA-based comedian originally hailing from the streets of Queens, NY. In 2016, after having spent over a decade on Wall Street working in high finance, investment banking, and private equity, Randy decided he was tired of being able to pay his bills on time and jumped head-first into stand up comedy. Every week he sits down on the podcast and chops it up with friends and guests from all walks of life, including comedy, music, entertainment, academia, business and even politics. He and his guests discuss their lives, daily experiences, current events, and other random silliness. Randy has a knack for drawing out honest, raw, self-examined, irreverent, funny and always entertaining conversations with his guests. He is not afraid to ask deeply personal and sometimes borderline inappropriate questions. And, of course, he always seems to find a topic to get on his soap box and rant about. You can email the show at rsbpodcast@gmail.com for inquires, sponsorship, or just to drop a note or share a thought.
