Show notes

The Too Much Coffee Man creator became a member of the extremely rare

two-timers club, with a second RiYL appearance. Shannon Wheeler was
among the show’s original guests early on when the interviews were
primarily recorded remotely. When he mentioned that he’d be in New York
for work for a few days, it seemed as good a time as any to give the
interview thing another shot, this time face to face. In a lot of
ways, the interview is the platonic ideal of an RiYL episode, a casual
cafe (or, in this case, tea house) conversation that likely would have
gone the same way whether or not I’d decided to bring my microphone
setup along with me.  Though, for the record, most of my
conversations these days don’t begin with a discussion of Ayn Rand — but
when Wheeler confided in me that he was attempting to watch the Atlas
Shrugged film series, I couldn’t help myself. Also, I’m not sure
I’ve talked that much about God in a single sitting in college, but when
you put out an abridged adaptation of the bible like God is
Disappointed in You, it gets to be a fairly regular topic of
conversation. But don’t worry, much like the book itself, there’s plenty
of laughter to be found throughout.
