Jun 23 2022 • 15 mins

This weeks podcast is a Minisode; occasional interviews and conversations that don’t quite fit our format but that we think you might enjoy. This episode features a Proust like questionnaire about music and life with 21 questions for actor, comedian, writer, producer and musician Fred Armisen. Fred has carved out an extensive career in the worlds of television film and music, he spent eleven years a writer and cast member on Saturday night live, has appeared as a guest star on pretty much every cool tv show of the last 20 years and co created and co stars in the ifc shows 'Portlandia' and 'Documentary Now', and for HBO, the Spanish language series 'Los Espookys'. Fred is also the official drummer and band leader for 'Late Night with Seth Myers' and if you haven’t seen his Netflix special 'Stand Up For Drummers', please do yourself a favor and put it on your watch list.
