I'm Alex Schwartz. I'm Nomi Fry. I'm Vincent Cunningham and this is Critics at Large, a New Yorker

podcast for the culturally curious. Each week we're going to talk about a big idea that's showing

up across the cultural landscape and we'll trace it

through all the mediums we love books movies television music art and I always want to

talk about celebrity gossip too of course we hope you'll join us for new episodes each Thursday.

Follow critics at large, today, wherever you get podcasts. Pushkin. This is Togg Easy. I'm San Forgo, comedian, and now podcast host, Julia Louis Dreyfus.

We tape this episode in front of a live audience out in Colorado at the Aspen Ideas Festival.

And to be honest, we've been talking about doing more of these live shows

because they're really, really fun to do

and they bring a different kind of energy to the tape and if you haven't heard

the ones we've done with Mingen Lee and Britt Marling you'll understand what I mean

when you hear this one with Julia because it's just really fun to do these talks that can be intimate and then also very silly in front of a bunch of people and so we want to do more of them and we thought we just opened the door up to you, the

listener. So if you want us to come to wherever you are or you know whatever the

largest city is near you you you can write us at SF at talk easy pod.com. That's

SF at talk easy pod.com. Also I should note that if you want to watch this episode, instead of just listening to it,

we've actually uploaded the entire conversation to our website at talk-ezy-pod.com

slash JLD.'s talk easy pod

dot com slash JLD I want to thank the festival again for having us out and putting on this great

event I had never been to the Aspen Ideas Festival before,

but they've been doing it for a long, long time now,

and we're very excited to come back next year

and do another show.
