World Cafe Playlist for 10/27/2025
Mae Martin joins host Raina Douris
Much of Mae Martin’s work as a comedian has been based on their own life. It’s Mae’s willingness to be vulnerable and open that made writing music feel like a natural move. On the World Cafe, Mae talks about their new album, I’m A TV, and how music and comedy let them express different sides of who they are.
