This week, S.E. gets to talk shop with one of the greatest writers working today, Susan Orlean. Susan Orlean is known for her long-form, immersive profiles that take readers into seemingly ordinary but absolutely extraordinary worlds, from orchid collecting, to competitive surfing, and teenage suburban life. And now, she's turning that keen eye for detail on herself. S.E. and Susan talk about the pressure and privilege of writing, the pain of writing about yourself, and the changing journalism landscape. Susan takes us down some of her craziest reporting rabbit holes and behind the scenes of Adaptation, the wild award winning movie based on her book, The Orchid Thief. And stay tuned for a very writerly lightning round. Susan's memoir, Joy Ride, is out know.

S.E. Cupp needs a break -- from the news, from politics, from the triggering headlines and heated discussions … from the mental load of it all. Off the Cupp is just that. It’s a place to get loose and personal, to talk about what’s going on in our lives - beyond (and, yes, maybe because of) the news. Through a lens of mental health, S.E. invites her famous guests — celebrities, athletes, authors, journalists, politicians, reality stars — to share their life stories, their trials and tribulations and to talk about what it’s like living in this world, even when this world can feel like a lot.
