Hey everybody, welcome to the show. This is the Other People podcast. I'm Brad Listy here in Los Angeles.

It's nice to be with you. Thank you for listening. Today's Friday, so I'm going to be doing a

flashback episode, sharing an outtake from episode 244, my conversation with Hilton Al's. It first aired on

January 19th, 2014. Hilton Al's is a Pulitzer Prize-winning

theater critic. He is the chief theater critic of The New Yorker magazine and the author of

several books. His most recent book is a memoir entitled Pinup. His other books include The Women and White Girls, which was nominated

for a National Book Critic Circle Award in Criticism. A flashback to episode 244 is coming up momentarily.

A reminder that the full episode is available in the feed.

So if you like this flashback and you're interested in listening to the full conversation, just look for

episode 244. It's there. All right? Let's get to it. Let's go back in time to episode 244 and my

conversation with Hilton Al's. I think when there's space, your brain opens in a very particular kind of way.

You know, I think you can see a vista or a rise and much more clearly than you kind of your own

dump.
