Maria Bamford

Maria Bamford is a stand-up comedian, actress and writer, whose surrealist work toys with matters of family, anxiety and depression. Whether performing for her parents in their living room (as she did for her stand-up special “Maria Bamford: The Special Special Special!”), or starring in her semi-autobiographical television series “Lady Dynamite,” Bamford’s ability to be awkward, vulnerable and funny all at once is uniquely her own. Her new memoir “Sure, I’ll Join Your Cult” explores what it means to keep going and to be a member of society (even when you are not very good at it), all the while recounting a life spent transforming isolating experiences into comedy. Bamford is in conversation with Anna Sale, who has hosted the podcast Death, Sex & Money since 2014. see more

Oklahoma City drivers may have been rubbing their eyes in disbelief when they went to the pump last week. Gas was $1.99 per gallon, a record low for the past four years. Gas prices have dropped nationwide, even though the Bay Area is still one of the highest-priced regions at $3 per gallon. What are the pros and cons of the decline?
