  • Embarrassing

    The episode with the brilliant David Sedaris was unbearable. I cringed through the entire episode hoping it would get better. What a wasted opportunity.

  • (((Cringe)))

    Unlistenable. Her interview with the brilliant David Sedaris was a disaster. I was embarrassed for her. I’ve never heard of her before and now I know why. Yikes! 😮‍💨

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

You Had To Be There with Nick Davis
Q: What surprised you most during interviews with the original cast?
The most surprising element was how central Godspell was to the lives of those involved, and how closely they remained connected over the years, which revealed a deep, lasting friendship that defined the project more than fame.
You Had To Be There with Nick Davis
Q: How can a documentary film capture the spirit of a performance that exists mostly in memories?
Davis explains that the approach leans into the limitations, using the one strong audio recording Marty Short saved, supplemented by interviews with living cast members and contextual pieces from celebrities who were influenced by Godspell, to recreate the atmosphere rather than rely on pristine footage.
Excerpt: Motherf*cker with Jena Friedman
Q: What was your mom like, Jena, and how did she influence the show?
She describes her mother as funny with a dark sense of humor who inspired the show and whose influence helped shape the tone and direction of the material, including keeping certain lines for larger audiences while still honoring her memory.
Excerpt: Motherf*cker with Jena Friedman
Q: And tell me about the origin story of this particular piece.
Friedman explains that the show evolved from promoting her earlier material and a new pregnancy, with personal grief from her mother's illness and death guiding the shift toward a more universal, politically-connected approach.
Bag Talk with Carl Tart
Q: What are some of your favorite documentaries or crime-related docu-series?
He highlights 30 for 30 entries, OJ Made in America, and other documentary favorites, while noting his mixed interest in some true crime content and preferring more documentary-driven storytelling.
