I Wish I Made That: Kurt Andersen, author of 'The Breakup'

I Wish I Made That is a segment where we invite some of our favorite creative folks to dive deep into a piece of culture. We are joined by writer Kurt Andersen. Andersen is a longtime writer and editor, as well as co-founder the magazine Spy and former host of the public radio show Studio 360. The thing he wished he had made? The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe. The book chronicled the counterculture movement of the '60s. It did not make Kurt more of a hippie than he already was, but it did make him want to be a writer. Kurt's latest novel The Breakup will be out August 18th, pre-order now.

Podcaster and writer Sean Clements on 'The Dink'

Sean Clements is a writer for the big and small screen. His latest project is a feature film called The Dink. It's a movie about pickleball starring Mary Steenburgen and Jake Johnson. The movie was inspired by some of Sean's experiences with the sport – which he was very skeptical about at first as a pretty serious tennis player. We also get into his work as co-host of the comedy podcast Hollywood Handbook and what it's like to make celebrities uncomfortable on that show.

HOF anticlimax worth of Taskmaster prize task

I’ve heard of Jesse for what, decades, and never listened. Assumed he’s podcasting royalty. So, he’s got the Taskmaster hosts? Sure, I’ll listen, happy to give him a try. It was an hour of super vanilla interview and HE MISPRONOUNCED GREG DAVIES’s NAME OVER AND OVER AND OVER. And the interview was so boring, nothing new and interesting about it.
True man of culture…

Long-time listener but getting GFK on the pod is next level greatness. Blessings and props on an amazing run, Jesse!
