Thoughts... but Louder

Thoughts.... but Louder is a podcast about what happens between the fleeting idea and the finished joke—the messy, honest, and often hilarious process of turning thoughts into real comedy material. Hosted by comedian Rudy Pavich, the show dives into the craft of comedy writing with a mix of insight.

Each episode explores how everyday observations, intrusive thoughts, and half-formed ideas can evolve into polished bits, whether for stand-up, sketches, or beyond.

Part workshop, part therapy session, and part comedy hang, Thoughts.... but Louder is for anyone who’s ever thought, “That could be funny,” but didn’t know what to do next.
