Hey podcast friends. I'm Brendan Francis Noonam.

I'm Rico Galliano and guess what? While radio listeners are getting a rerun of the dinner party

download this week today, we are treating you to an all-new installment of our occasional

series, Dinner for One, featuring a single almost unedited interview with somebody

totally spectacular.

One interview, dinner for one.

We're so clever.

See how that works?

Geniuses.

Today we're going to hear Rico's chat with actor John Carlo Esposito, who's best known as the

quietly murderous drug kingpin Gus Fring in the TV shows Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.

And we'll get to that in a second, but first, we have to admit we've been a little tired lately.

Yes, we've been dealing with some very late nights because we're putting together an epic special

show we're going to unleash on you next weekend, and it is called Look Up and Listen.

Now, this is a one-off, hour-long audio spectacular.

We're producing with help from the NEA and the National Park Service,

and the idea is for you to listen to it outside under the stars.

It is also unlike anything that we've done before.

It's a little bit weird.

It's fun and weird, and it's full of great guests.

And to save us having to explain it to you any further, here's a little preview we put together.

Check it out.
