David Cross Unveils First Podcast ‘Senses Working Overtime,’ Sets Premiere Date

EXCLUSIVE: Comedic multi-hyphenate David Cross on Tuesday unveiled Senses Working Overtime With David Cross, his first-ever podcast, which is set to debut on all audio platforms, and on the actor and comedian’s YouTube page, on December 7. Check out the trailer above.

The pod began as a vehicle for Cross and his guests to explore the Best/Worst/Funniest/Saddest/Most Beautiful etc. things they’d ever Seen, Touched, Tasted, Smelled, and Heard. Somewhere along the way it became a loose premise, a jumping off point to learn more about a variety of fascinating people, where Cross could let conversations steer themselves.

It’s been a lot of fun with a lot of laughs with some great old friends and some good new ones. I hope I make your car/bus/subway/plane/train ride more tolerable.”
