Podcaster, musician, songwriter, artist, writer, thought leader, and our somnolent listener, James O’Brien joins the pod to talk about his many projects and how he gets it all done. We talk about his podcast, All Your Days, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Pump Club project, and his documentary about Betsy Siggins, Long Ago Way. We talk about the Wes Anderson film, The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, Roald_Dahl and the evolution of children’s stories, and The Cement Garden, by Ian McEwan, which James has recently finished. James describes the taste of Paxlovid, and we close with an excerpt from the song Rabbit Run from his album Careful In The Future. This was a really fun conversation, and we hope James will come back to the pod in the future. An hour and a half seemed too short.
