This week, in what might be the funniest episode yet, Molly and Emese are joined by co-stars Amy Schumer and Brianne Howey. They get candid about motherhood, career evolution, and their new film, Kinda Pregnant —which unexpectedly led to Amy’s latest health discovery. Amy opens up about how public criticism led her to uncover her Cushing syndrome diagnosis, what it’s like to navigate comedy and Hollywood as a mom, and the importance of sharing birth stories without shame. Brianne shares how becoming a mother has shifted her perspective on work, how Ginny & Georgia ’s Georgia Miller compares to real-life parenting, and the power of female friendships in the industry. We also go behind the scenes of their new Netflix film, Kinda Pregnant —how Molly first got the script, why Amy and Brianne were drawn to the project, and what it means for women today. Plus, they reflect on their early career struggles, the moment they knew they “made it,” and how motherhood has reshaped their ambitions. From career highs to personal challenges, this episode is raw, funny, and packed with insights.

Today on At the Podium with Manuel Amezcua, we’re sitting down with NCAA and Michigan State Legend, Greg Kelser. Greg Kelser has lived a life unlike many. He moved over 10 times as a child due to the fact that his parents were in the military, and along the way he acquired a unique approach to life that is still serving him today. He has overcome obstacles during his athletic journey, ranging from being placed on the JV squad for 4 games as a tenth grader, to fighting for a starting spot at Michigan State. In this episode, Greg shares a look behind the curtain of Michigan State's 1979 National Championship over Larry Bird, and reflects on his time playing with Magic Johnson, Terry Furlow, and his other immortalized teammates.

Today on At the Podium with Manuel Amezcua, we have the pleasure of sitting down with John Huggins, a safety from Jackson State University who will be waiting to hear his name get called in the 2024 NFL Draft. John’s story begins in the Bronx, but he had many stops along the way. He played high school football in Florida before committing to Florida State. However, after Jimbo Fisher took the Texas A&M job, John made the switch to Gainesville to play for the Gators. After some hiccups in his career, John Huggins ultimately ended up at Jackson State, and his new coach would be no other than Coach Prime, Deion Sanders. Under Coach Prime, John learned the value of hard work, punctuality, and the importance of focusing on the finest of details. John most recently dominated at the HBCU combine and earned high praise from NFL Draft gurus like Bucky Brooks. Throughout all of his stops and all of his experiences, John Huggins has never lost sight of the fact that God is guiding his steps, and that only HE is the author of his story.
