Dan Taberski, Podcast Legend

The man behind Missing Richard Simmons, Surviving Y2K, Running From Cops, and the new Audacy Original podcast Hysterical joins us to talk about the disarming intimacy of The Robin Byrd Show, the comfort of the Ezra Klein and Times Literary Supplement podcasts, the charm of Tim Walz, the inherent danger of new wave as a symbol of gayness, the whimsical intensity of a Richard Simmons exercise class, the real-life horror of mass psychogenic illnesses, the significance of showering go-go boys, the difficulty of coming out while married, and a meet-cute at the Russian and Turkish Baths.
