Hey, it's Max. It's the middle of the summer. Aaron and Evan are on vacation. I'm all alone in the office.

So we're going to take this week off. No new episode. We'll be back next week with a new interview, one I am really excited about, actually.

But for now, here's one of my all-time favorite episodes, a conversation I had last year with Tavi Givenson.

Tavi, of course, is the editor of Rookie Magazine.

And since we talked February 14, she's just done an insane number of things.

She's moved to New York.

She's starred in a Broadway show.

This is our youth.

And she released another rookie yearbook, which you should totally check out.

Another thing you should do, rate or review this show on iTunes.

And if there's someone you'd like to hear on the show, send us an email.

We're podcast at longform.org.

Hello, welcome to the Longform podcast.

I'm Max Linsky. I'm here with my co-hosts, Aaron Lamer, and Evan Radliff.

Gentlemen, hello.

Ah, good morning.

Aaron's had a tough weekend.

I'm on a lot of back pain.

I'm sorry, man.

You look good sitting up.

You seem like maybe it's better than lying down on the floor.
