On this week's episode of BuzzFeed's Another Round podcast, the ridiculously hilarious comedian Aparna Nancherla talks about how in the world she makes depression and anxiety funny.
She also discusses being a woman in comedy, her alter ego AKA an introverted Sasha Fierce, and her favorite snacks ("Trail mix is really a state of mind.")
But you should also know her tweets are all FIRE. Here is but a sampling of her genius.
