Roy's Job Fair

By: iHeartPodcasts and Paramount Podcasts
  • Summary

  • Work is like sex or food — you’re either getting it or looking for it. Comedian Roy Wood Jr. (correspondent on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Trevor Noah) explores the human condition every week through the prism of employment. Roy sits down with real people from ALL lines of work about their most memorable jobs, employment vacancies they're looking to fill, scams they've run at the office, and of course, the cringe-worthy office romances. Roy's famed humor is matched by his true empathy and curiosity for people. Join him on an entertaining exploration into the battle all of us fight every day. Balancing our need to provide with our need for emotional fulfillment. Learn from the people who got it right. Laugh with the rest of us, who constantly get it wrong. Welcome to the Job Fair.

  • Video Game Tester
    Dec 28 2022

    What does a game tester do? How to become one, and the leaps and bounds the industry takes to ensure video games are ready for action.

    Is Roy fair in adding GameStop to his growing list of the most duplicitous places on Earth, or is GameStop’s existence a by-product of the growing greed of video game publishers? Two former video game testers (one a former GameStop employee) add perspective to these topics.

    Each team member shares their favorite video games of all time, and some classics still hold up. But will you agree?

    Basketball legend turned businessman Shaquille O'Neal attempts to distance himself from a growing crypto scandal. Pusha T cuts ties with Kanye West, and @Rod4Short defends the largest domestic airline in the U.S., Southwest Airlines.

    This episode is brought to you by the Wright Brothers and the biracial advantage.
