You've watched (and rewatched) the YouTube clips, seen the Jim Carrey movie, and maybe even read Bob Zmuda's book, and think you're done. Nope. This Podcast goes further, with numerous interviews with Andy's family, childhood friends, and, I don't consider it a spoiler given the title of one of the episodes, his daughter. His analysis of one of Andy's acts in particular (search for "Andy Kaufman Heckler 1982" to watch it in full) is a striking approach to how a comedian manages a career.
