Hi everyone, I'm Susie Weiss, and I've noticed there's just simply not enough podcasts in the world. So I'm launching my own. Let's go. Let's go, baby. Second Thought is a weekly show about pop culture. The stuff everyone's been binging, arguing about, obsessing over. Here's the thing about heated rivalry. I mean, even the most devoted swifties, I think we can agree, not our best work. We'll be hosting thoughtful conversations with culture's most important figures. Talk about genius.

Talk about generational talent.

Coming to headphones near you on

April 17th with a first guest you won't want to miss. Available wherever you get your podcasts.

And like that, you tell me to research someone for 30 hours. Yeah. Talk to Joaquin Phoenix. I can do that. Yeah.

Two-sentence bio of myself, it's hard for me. Welcome to how to. I'm Carvo Wallace. Now, you know how the show usually works. Someone writes in with a problem,

and we find an expert in that area, and then we put the two of them in conversation. But today,

we're going to do something a little different. Today, we're going to do an interview about

interviews. And we think that's important for a number of reasons. First of all, many of us

consume them, whether they're on podcasts like this one or in magazines or online or at any event.

They help us connect with people and understand where they're coming from. But even more than that,

at a time when so much history is being denied or even downright deleted, interviews,
