Today, we’re joined by comedian Emily Lynne to jump into the deranged fantasy world of Heads Will Roll: Heir Apparent, an Audible Original comedy she co-created with her sister Kate McKinnon.

An evil queen must produce an heir before 40 or die by demon; her cursed-raven best friend gets cosmetic surgery and ends up a toad. Emily dishes about casting Richard Kind, negotiating with her therapist, and the tiny horrible real-life moments behind the jokes.

David Sedaris has notes: on "welcome in," on the machine that took your coffee order, on the airport tip screen, on everyone under 40. But underneath the complaints in his new collection, The Land and Its People, is something softer: the person he married, the lost friends in his address book, the sense that he's entering the hard part of getting older.

David joins the show to talk about manners and tastelessness, why he'd rather say "this is the person I married" than "husband," and what he learned about landing a joke from watching Whoopi Goldberg.

Today, we're joined by novelist Daniel Mason to explore the quietly enchanted world of Country People, his warmest and funniest novel yet.

An academic California family lands in rural Vermont for a year while the father takes up scything and seeks out the “country people” who can maybe inspire him to finish his dissertation.

Daniel talks about the secret society of Hollow Earth believers at the story's heart, what drew him to writing a novel so different from his previous work, and why a man who has spent fourteen years not finishing his dissertation might not be a failure after all.
