Is it just me or is time flying by? How do we make the most out of our short time here on Earth? That’s what we’re here to find out. I’m Justin Long and I’ve been an actor for most of my life, so I’m used to getting inside the heads of the characters I play. But now that I’m getting older (I’m in my forties, yikes), I want to peek inside the heads of real people to learn how they find meaning in life. I’m also very curious what their favorite snack food is, and what emoji they use most often — ya know, the REALLY important stuff. Every episode I’ll get personal with all kinds of people, from actors to musicians to deep thinkers who fascinate me. My brother Christian is on hand each episode to keep me honest, and occasionally remind me about some of the embarrassing things I’ve done over the years. Join us, or if you have more important things to do, that’s okay too — life is short!

Customer Reviews
Nice guys
A great style of interviewing to get across a lot from the guest.
Big fan
Life is Short is such a fun podcast to listen to. I’ve enjoyed Justin’s work since way back in the day when he was on my fave show Ed. Although I’m late to this podcast, I was happy to find it. I love how he talks to his guests, sometimes asking all the things I wonder about too. Such a nice combination with his brother. I’d love it if you got Tom Cavanagh on the podcast. An Ed Reunion!!!
Great, funny and interesting
Teo thumbs up
