| 0:00.0 | Bullseye with Jessie Thorn is a production of MaximumFun.org and is distributed by NPR. |
| 0:20.6 | Coming to you from my house, it's Bullseye. I'm Linda Holmes in for Jessie Thorn. I'm |
| 0:25.8 | NPR's pop culture correspondent and the host of Pop Culture Happy Hour. I thought we'd |
| 0:30.7 | replay one of our favorite ever Bullseye interviews this week. |
| 0:34.6 | David Digs. David has one of the most varied resumes in entertainment. He started in the |
| 0:40.5 | original cast of Hamilton, playing Thomas Jefferson and the Marquit de Lafayette. He's |

| 1:40.1 | When Jesse talked with David last year, clipping had just released an album called Their |

| 1:49.2 | called Nothing is Safe. |
| 2:19.2 | Death is coming for you, but you already knew that. |
| 2:23.2 | Thought the clicker brought you some safety up in this pack, but they didn't add up backup, |
