This week, we’re introducing you to a show we think you’ll really enjoy—it’s called Hasan Minhaj Doesn’t Know, and it blends humor with genuine curiosity in a way that feels both fresh and thoughtful. You probably know Hasan from The Daily Show or Patriot Act, but in this podcast, he sits down with guests from across politics, culture, and tech to ask big, sometimes absurd, but always honest questions. In this episode, he talks with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ronan Farrow about his HBO documentary on spyware technology, his new podcast Not a Very Good Murderer, and—of course—trades hair care tips with a fellow hair bro.
