Episode 59 - David Sedaris (returns!)

15 Minutes: a podcast about fame, with Jamie Berger

Episode 59 - David Sedaris

This is the podcast where David Sedaris gets to (okay, is strongly encouraged to) tell the dirty jokes he can’t tell Terry Gross! (This both a warning and an invitation.) But we talk about serious stuff too.

This episode marks the 2-year anniversary of 15 Minutes, and I was so happy to have our guest from right around our first anniversary return. (Episode 38 is where you can find our first conversation)

David Sedaris is a multiple NYT-bestselling author/humorist. But chances are really good you already knew that.

Stuff we talk about: Aging; Success; his diaries and his new book of essays, Calypso; denim shirts; Stormy Daniels; what’s funny and what isn’t; letting a stranger who isn’t a surgeon take you to her office and perform surgery on you; David Rakoff; bitterness; being confused for a woman; and much, much more!

All episodes of this podcast can be found at http://15minutesjamieberger.com, and on iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, and pretty much wherever pods are cast.

Ed Patenaude engineers the show. Christian Cundari made the the theme music. The show is hosted and created by me, Jamie Berger.

Anja Schutz, who handles all elements of visual design for the show, made today's episode image, in conjunction with Cola Saitux, LTD, based on a photo of David S. for which we could not find the photographer, and the cover of Calypso.

Thanks for listening!
