  • Pod for the People

    You want podcasts to seem like conversations instead of Q&As? This is it. A free flowing of topics and hilarious observations. I’m pretty sure the “predictions” segment will all come true. If you like see his face on your social media feed, why not look at the entire frame on YouTube too!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jeopardy!, 40-Game Winning Streak & Trans Visibility | Amy Schneider
Q: What would you say to trans kids or kids who might be dealing with gender dysphoria?
Schneider encourages a longer view of social progress and says that, although things have become scarier since she came out, she has never regretted it. She stresses that coming out should be weighed against personal safety.
Jeopardy!, 40-Game Winning Streak & Trans Visibility | Amy Schneider
Q: Was getting on Jeopardy! a goal for a while, and how did the audition begin?
Schneider grew up watching the show and took the online test nearly every year, often progressing to the next round. After multiple auditions and a COVID-related postponement, she received a call to compete.
Fiction, Ghosts & the Future of America | Catherine Lacey
Q: What are some recommendations you have for our listeners in the fiction space? Is there any book you think everyone should read?
Lacey recommends The Door by Magda Szabó, Embers by Sándor Márai, and Sweet Days of Discipline by Fleur Jaeggy, describing them as personal classics that have stayed with her.
Fiction, Ghosts & the Future of America | Catherine Lacey
Q: Do you feel that your religious upbringing is something you consciously incorporate into your work, or is it just something that mattered to you and keeps returning?
Lacey says she does not deliberately seek out religious themes, but keeps returning to them because her childhood faith was intense and shaped how she thought about life, morality, and belief.
Going Viral, Betting on Yourself & Starting Over | Scott Rogowsky
Q: What was your reason for trying to save HQ Trivia?
Rogowsky believed the app had the potential to reach an audience larger than traditional television shows. That conviction later inspired him to co-found and fund Savvy, an effort to recreate the live, interactive experience.
