Episode Description

Long before he was a regular panelist on NPR’s popular show "Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!" and his writing was nominated for primetime Emmy Awards, Adam Felber was a Long Island kid with a voracious appetite for reading. Attending Tufts University he found his interest in writing, while outside the classroom he discovered a new love of comedy performance as one of the youngest members of ImprovBoston. Over a career that includes acting, creating television series, writing comic books (as well as regular books), Adam shares:

- His dad being great at his job but bad at money
- The incredible stock tip he gave his parents (but not himself)
- How the tv series Succession works better as a comedy
- Why it’s so important to “find your bliss”
Opening clip – “Kathleen Madigan: Gone Madigan”
