Summary

While The Late Show's on break, The Pod Show will be looking back at some of our favorite Colbert Introductions from this season before we're back with all new episodes September 2nd! Stephen Colbert went on the podcast in May to talk journaling for a very special introduction to his interview with friend-of-the-show and bestselling author Suleika Jaouad. In this extended interview, Suleika talks about the importance of connecting with one's creativity, and why she's flipping her doctor's advice on its head as she battles cancer for a third time. Her latest work, "The Book of Alchemy," is out now (originally aired May 5th, 2025).
