Hi everybody, it's Alonso. Thanks for joining us for LKTV. This is a show that's usually only available for our Patreon subscribers, but we're making it free for everybody as our holiday gift to you. A couple of things to note about this episode. Usually, LKTV, like linoleum knife, is a clean podcast, but this episode has some swears in it, so if you were going to maybe listen to it in the car

with your kids maybe don't also this was an interview conducted via zoom and as such the audio is

kind of terrible so be ready for some very loud louds and some very quiet quiets our

apologies we don't know how to do this. Anyway, thanks for listening.

to let you know what you've been missing and to maybe entice you to become subscribers yourselves in the new year.

I feel like we are having a 48-hour recording session of Pop Rocket right now.

Because yesterday, we were recording this on December 9th.

Yesterday, you and I were Zoom guests on Waiting to Exhale,

which is their holiday break episode that they're doing.

And so yesterday we sat down with Karen and Winter, and today we get Margaret

Wopler. No, but she's on our list. We're coming for you, Margaret. Now, we're thrilled to have

with us today, the great, great guy Branum, who's, you know, a list of credits as long as your arm,

but let's never forget that he is the author of the extraordinary, funny, and moving memoir,

My Life is a Goddess and Get the Audio Book, If You Haven't Already,

it made me weep behind the wheel of the car.

So good stuff there. Supervising

producer on one of our very favorite shows, the other two. His magnum opus talk show,
