Rafe Octagon Pontificates 2.0

Pontificates (verb)

“To speak or express opinions in a pompous or dogmatic way”

--Merriam-Webster Dictionary

Stand-up comedian Rafe Octagon offers a comedy podcast, reflecting on her personal journey through the mole hills and pitfalls of life as a queer white woman, who has been a Peace Corps Volunteer, a DV prosecutor, a college professor, and someone who is prone to motion sickness and mixed feelings about everything.

“Good thing I’m so funny!”

--Rafe Octagon

You will enjoy this 30-minute comedy podcast if:

  • You can laugh along with Rafe as she reflects on her experiences, making fun of herself.
  • You understand that topics can range from parachuting (and throwing up in mid-air), to the foibles of cats, to mental health in an increasingly stressed-out world.

Rafe started on a stand-up comedy journey, but it was stalled for about two years due to various Life Obstacles (which will give a lot of fodder for more jokes!).

On Thurs, Feb. 5, 2026, Rafe got back in the saddle, signing up for a stand-up comedy open mic. THE COMEDY JOURNEY CONTINUES!!

Rafe Octagon Pontificates---join us if you like to laugh!

    (A Weekly Comedy Podcast)

    Season 1, Episode 5 Prof. Habou

    Rafe reflects on the man who shaped most of their life--their father, Prof. Habou. A man who was brilliant, infuriating and held strong convictions, and sometimes all three at once. Childhood is not for the faint at heart.
