You Just Have To Laugh

YOU JUST HAVE TO LAUGH (YJHTL) David Naster learned and survived how to make a living as a professional comedian. Then the comedian learned how Humor and Laugher helps us to survive. For over 44 years Naster has interviewed hundreds of real people that are really funny in situations that are NOT funny. The YJHTL's podcast intentions are to entertain and inspire how humor can help you through any Tough Time you may endure. Each week we will offer real people who are really funny that have found joy and laughed through their real problems.
