Warn Your Relatives: Hari Kondabolu In Northampton Oct. 10

Hari Kondabolu

Since the last time Hari Kondabolu was on our show, a lot has happened in America — in politics, race relations, and comedy. Those are all topics he likes to discuss on stage, TV and on his comedy albums. On October 10th, Kondabolu will be back in our region at the Academy of Music Theatre in Northampton.

Kondabolu is coming off his Netflix special “Warn Your Relatives” and a documentary that got a lot of attention — “The Problem With Apu,” about the stereotypical character who has now faded into the background in Springfield.

A lifelong resident of the Capital Region, Ian joined WAMC in late 2008 and became news director in 2013.

Ian can also be heard as the host of the WAMC News Podcast and on The Roundtable and various newscasts. Ian holds a BA in English and journalism and an MA in English, both from the University at Albany, where he has taught journalism since 2013.
