Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome this evening's moderator, American journalist and

culture critic, Virginia Heppernin.

I am so lucky to get to be here with an old friend of mine, M. Malcobladwell.

And we're going to talk about what making this podcast sort of meant to him.

M. Malcobladwells are clearly this extraordinary form and M. Malcobladwells are a master of it

after only one season.

And then he's going to do the last episode.

Why switching to audio?

Did you do gargle?

Do you do freeing the inner voice exercises like actors?
