Episode 63 of Datebook podcast is an interview with Nato Green, a union organizer and comedian who helped lead the fight to save the Punch Line comedy club, a historic space that was threatened with closure earlier this year. Green also talks about getting his start in comedy, and why he's a political comic. And host Peter Hartlaub confronts Green on their "feud" — which started in 2015 when the comedian wrote a San Francisco Examiner article titled "Peter Hartlaub is a Chump."
Produced by Peter Hartlaub. Music is "Midnight Special" by E's Jammy Jams.
