Question 15: Jad, I love the show. Will you ever do a show that has more listener participation, something where we could get involved? How about more live shows?

yes to more live shows. being one that likes to make a thousand edits and order the universe so it’s just so, the chaos of being live on stage is super fun! as for listener participation, my not-so-secret fantasy is to produce a sports call-in show. which would involve lots of listener participation.
