How To Survive with Danielle & Kristine

Danielle Koenig & Kristine Kimmel

A comedy survival podcast about the disasters you fear, the chaos you don’t expect, and the daily hassles that make you wish you were dead.

If it can endanger your life—or simply ruin your day—they’ll tell you how to survive it, with plenty of laughs along the way.

Featuring guests like Rainn Wilson, Jon Hamm, Tig Notaro, Patton Oswalt, Oscar Nunez, Lauren Ash, Paul F. Tompkins & Andy Richter.
