From Wild Card with Rachel Martin: Taylor Tomlinson
About this episode
There's a great podcast we want to introduce you to today, hosted by our friend Rachel Martin at NPR. It's her new show, called Wild Card, which she describes as "part-interview, part-existential game show." It's a different way of approaching a celebrity interview, with a special deck of cards that helps shape the conversation. It's a really fun show, and she talks to some really big names, including David Lynch, LeVar Burton, Issa Rae, and US Poet Laureate Ada Limon.
Rachel was also a guest on this very podcast recently, and we had a great conversation and even played a little bit of the card game, so go back in your podcast feed and check that out. You can also listen to it here.
The Wild Card episode we're sharing with you today features Taylor Tomlinson, who has found the kind of success many comedians dream about, with multiple Netflix specials and a late-night hosting gig — After Midnight on CBS. She tells Rachel that part of the secret to her success is fear. They also swap stories about their Christian upbringings, the search for validation and getting things stuck up their noses.
So enjoy this episode, and check out Wild Card wherever you find your podcasts.
