This is an interview with Jad Abumrad, creator of Radiolab and producer of Dolly Parton’s America, that I saw in today’s Washington Post Style Memo newsletter. Jad has a new podcast series out called Fela Kuti: Fear No Man, from WNYC Studios.
The last paragraph of this interview, about Jad’s “pet peeves of podcasting,” made it a worthwhile read. Enjoy!
Well played Christi! I agree—as you’d expect—with his sentiment.
I also really enjoy when people/publications have the time and resources to edit those sort of pieces from longer conversations. I can skim text, get something out out of it—in this case, it doesn’t make me want to listen to the whole thing—but it’s definitely been a gateway for me in the past. There’s a site https://the-talks.com which is a source of many interesting interviews like the one you’ve linked.
