Exactly.

oh, this The Michelle Obama Interview - Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso - Video Podcast - Apple Podcasts share.google/lmCTrYOjCADi...

“As Katharine Hepburn used to say: ‘I'd rather fail at something difficult than succeed at something that comes too easily.’” My conversation with Nathan Lane, for Fresh Air.

Think I agree with Riz Ahmed here. At this point, maybe we should just consider the concept. Also, @samfragoso.bsky.social is doing some of the best long-form interviews out there on Talk Easy.

“I guess I am becoming a bit more like a Michael Mann character.” Had a very silly, sprawling conversation with Chris Ryan of The Ringer.

It's hard to think of anything more important to watch this week than the interview my pal @samfragoso.bsky.social did recently with Tristan Harris. Please, definitely, make some time to watch (or listen) to this soon.

Covered a lot of ground with PA Governor @joshshapiropa.bsky.social this week on the show.

‘Life is such a pain in the ass’: what Talk Easy host Sam Fragoso has learned in a decade of grilling celebs

SINNERS season approaching.

Good one with @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social!

I told @samfragoso.bsky.social how chasing Jon Hamm as a red carpet correspondent taught me how to try and track down Greg Bovino. Loved doing @talkeasypod.bsky.social and this conversation. youtu.be/IQ-InpRRPT4?...

as I told the great @samfragoso.bsky.social, it was an honor to sit down with him for his @talkeasypod.bsky.social. can’t wait for you to listen. talkeasypod.com/jacob-soboro...

Another @talkeasypod.bsky.social episode I highly recommend. @samfragoso.bsky.social and @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social on the importance of on-the-ground media coverage now and close with the hope that the Bad Bunny halftime show is a some type of inflection point. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Anderson .Paak!

In contrast, you have something like this @talkeasypod.bsky.social episode with Sam Fragoso talking with George Saunders. Sam is one of the best interviewers out there. He's smart, funny, prepared, engaging, interested, and gracious. He wants to be there and spend time with his guest.

George Saunders on the state of... everything? Good talk.

“I just do not recognize this country anymore” - Sam’s dad. Amazing conversation here. George Saunders is a national treasure. Thank you, @samfragoso.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... #TalkEasy #democracy #climate #storytelling

I'm home with a cold this afternoon, so I'm lying low and relaxing. We just finished watching this podcast with @samfragoso.bsky.social and writer George Saunders. Excellent conversation and highly recommended. So much to think about here. @talkeasypod.bsky.social youtu.be/lcpUVBt3aEc?...

Spoke to Gabriel Sherman for Fresh Air this week.

Will Arnett! Edited by fellow Canadian @coreyatad.com.

“One of my favorite Jimi Hendrix lines is, ‘Hooray, I awake from yesterday.’ I actually feel that.” Loved this conversation with Patti Smith.

As much as I’ve always loved him, Sam is just absolutely killing it with @talkeasypod.bsky.social the past several months. Pretty convinced this is the best podcast out there right now. (Also, of course, Robby Hoffman is hilarious & amazing in this episode)

just a few words about my grandmother, along with some photos my sister dug up from her albums, like this one from her childhood during the war www.justatad.xyz/p/eva-rachel...

More of Robby Hoffman in 2026. One of my favorites in recent memory.

A holiday special with Kate Winslet.

"Images can move people, can educate people, can enlighten people, can flip misconceptions, can bridge people. I still believe in photojournalism," @lynseyaddario.bsky.social tells contributor @samfragoso.bsky.social.

Talked with Noah Baumbach about emerging from his “quiet crisis” post-White Noise, art imitating life, and, of course, his (movie) Pop, the late Peter Bogdanovich.

This interview of Edgar Wright (@edgarwright.bsky.social) by Sam Fragoso (@samfragoso.bsky.social ) is definitely one of the best of him I’ve ever heard. #filmsky #runningman

“One of the things writing can do is get to the pain, and much of that pain comes from places where there should be love.” Our interview with Salman Rushdie.

This was a great conversation to listen in on - so many great insights to take in

A very beautiful and moving interview. Thank you @samfragoso.bsky.social I knew very little about Terry Gross and I can't recommend this enough. www.searchengine.show/talk-easy-x-...

When I listen @talkeasypod.bsky.social @samfragoso.bsky.social on a Sunday morning, sipping coffee & puttering around, it’s at least one hour where I can pretend I’m living in a world where sincerity, kindness, and empathy reign supreme.

“Sometimes I feel I’m not going to write again, but then it becomes harder to keep quiet than to write it.” Loved this conversation with Arundhati Roy.

beautiful work all around

I don't say this lightly, but Sam's interview with Terry Gross is a fucking delight. Take a break from the shitty world and give it a listen/watch.

This was terrific. Highly recommend, especially for professional question-askers No one preps more to interview a guest than Sam (or Terry!) and it shows here

From @whyy.org in Philadelphia, our talk with Terry Gross. Now on video! An honor to celebrate half a century of @nprfreshair.bsky.social.

From yesterday's @nprfreshair.bsky.social broadcast: Terry Gross, musical lyricist.

Flew to Philly to sit with Terry Gross and celebrate 50 years of @nprfreshair.bsky.social. Go birds. talkeasypod.com/terry-50-yea...

Terry Gross of Fresh does *not* do a lot of interviews, so it is extra special that she talked with the talented #TalkEasy host @samfragoso.bsky.social . You’ll learn a lot and be emotionally moved. Stunning podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... #podcast

Fifty years ago this month, Terry Gross took over at Fresh Air, changing the world of journalism forever. Gross and a slew of colleagues, competitors, and guests sat down with @petecroatto.bsky.social for this @phillymag.com oral history on the most important public radio show in American history.

Real talk (reel talk?): BWDR recently lost a partnership that covered nearly half our operating budget, so things are suddenly very tough. If what we do has ever meant something to you, or you’ve ever thought about subscribing, now’s the time—it *truly* makes a difference.

It's been a year in Los Angeles. This week @mayor.lacity.gov sat for a candid conversation to talk about it.

RIP Jerry Adler, a veteran stage manager (including for the original Broadway production of My Fair Lady!) who switched to acting when he was 65 and soon became an indelible character guy (Hesh!) I interviewed him for my Mike Nichols bio; as you'd imagine, he was a bottomless treasure chest of lore.

Talked WEAPONS, accents, and clown school with Julia Garner. No one walked out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0hi...

this is actually the greatest moment ever captured on film
