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.

Format

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."
