On this show we tend to concern ourselves with the little things which of course means we

usually completely neglect the big things.

We should probably neglect the little things too. Go. Hey everyone. We have a very special guest this week. She is the

author of the upcoming book Seinfeldia, How a Show About Nothing Changed Everything

Jennifer Armstrong. Welcome to Sinecast. Thank you. Thank you so much for having me.

Sinefeldia, that's a great term. You know we have Sinecast, there's

Sineology, but Sinefeldia, what is Seinfeldia isn't it wonderful this it's so

wonderful that his name ends up lending itself to so many different speech

parts it's it's really helpful for those of us who are itself to so many different speech parts.

It's really helpful for those of us who are kind of in the Seinfeld business.

So Seinfeldia is a term.

I had actually also played with Seinfelded Land, but we thought Seinfeldia sounded like cool and hip like

Portlandia. So, but the idea is that there's a special place, special kind of realm of existence essentially that is between the

fiction of Seinfeld the show and reality and it kind of never dies like they

created this place where reality and fiction interact when

they created the show and the way they did it based on a lot of real things in the

real world.

And what's funny about it is that because of the incredible enduring

fandom of the show, it kind of never dies.

Like, there are some big characters in Seinfeldia, like the guy who played the soup

Nazi, Larry Thomas, who's a wonderful man and he has kind of made his living continuing to play the soup Nazi since the

show went off the air.
