Fasting Compilation: Leading Experts On Water-Only Fasts, Fasting Mimicking Diets & The Optimal Fasting Window For Longevity Nov 20, 2025

Show notes

This Fasting Compilation features Dr. Alan Goldhamer, Dr. Valter Longo, and Dr. Michael Greger to discuss the science of strategic deprivation.

We explore why visceral fat behaves like a tumor secreting inflammatory molecules that drive chronic disease. How many health conditions stem from dietary patterns rather than requiring medication alone. The evolutionary mechanism of insulin resistance and the reality that when you eat can matter as much as what you eat, with the same calories producing opposite metabolic outcomes depending on meal timing.

I also share my own challenges. Knowing the science doesn't make implementation easy.

Listen. Learn. And discuss with your healthcare provider what makes sense for you. Enjoy!

CRITICAL SAFETY NOTE: Under no circumstances should anyone undertake a water fast of any length without medical supervision. Do not attempt this at home.

Show notes

Katie Couric is a journalist and the first woman to solo-anchor a major network evening newscast.

We explore the disintermediation of news media, institutional distrust, and the fragmentation of shared truth in America. Katie shares her experiences navigating the CBS boys club, her perspective on the Sarah Palin interview, the craft of asking great questions, her cancer advocacy work after personal tragedy, and what she's learned about happiness.

Along the way, Katie admits she's never been addicted to anything—until now.

With four decades of perspective, Katie doesn't hold back. Enjoy!

Tig Notaro Is Treading Water Nov 10, 2025

Show notes

Tig Notaro is a comedian, actor, screenwriter, producer, and co-host of the podcast Handsome.

This conversation explores Tig's legendary 2012 set—delivered days after her cancer diagnosis—and how loss became her greatest teacher. We discuss her wild upbringing, choosing presence over performance, the napkin-based writing process, what's going on in the comedy scene, and producing "Come See Me in the Good Light," the Sundance-winning doc about poet Andrea Gibson.

Oh, and we bond over spinal fusion surgery recovery.

Tig is great—and I really enjoyed our time together. Enjoy!

It Begins With You: Jillian Turecki On Why Dating Is Broken, Self-Awareness Is Everything, & What Actually Makes Love Last Nov 03, 2025

Show notes

Jillian Turecki is a relationship expert, New York Times bestselling author of It Begins With You, and host of the podcast Jillian on Love.

This conversation explores why intimacy reveals our character defects, how childhood conditioning sabotages adult love, and the universal fear driving relationship dysfunction. We discuss why there's no cruise control in partnerships, why stress kills more relationships than infidelity, and how to distinguish needs from unrealistic expectations.

Along the way, Jillian performs a bit of relationship triage on me.

Jillian's message is direct and empowering. This one rules. Enjoy!

Malala Yousafzai Is Finding Her Way Oct 27, 2025

Show notes

Malala Yousafzai is the youngest Nobel Peace Prize laureate, education activist, and survivor of a Taliban assassination attempt at age fifteen.

This conversation explores the gulf between icon and identity—what happens when you're trying to figure out who you are while everybody has already decided for you. We discuss PTSD that surfaced years later, therapy she resisted, reconciling heritage with freedom, the crisis facing Afghan girls under gender apartheid, and why meaningful activism extends beyond social media.

Through it all, she's redefining what courage actually looks like.

Malala is vulnerable, honest, and profoundly human. And this conversation is a gift. Enjoy!

Train Like A Pro: Exercise Scientist Andy Galpin On Fitness Fundamentals, The 9 Adaptations, & Why Your Training Isn't Working Oct 23, 2025

Show notes

Andy Galpin is a PhD in exercise bioenergetics, professor at Parker University, and elite performance coach to professional and Olympic athletes.

This conversation explores his framework of nine fitness adaptations and why many people plateau in what could be called the "gray zone"—working hard enough to feel exhausted but not specifically enough to trigger adaptation. We discuss how movement quality often matters more than intensity, the difference between functional overreaching and overtraining, and what's actually limiting your progress.

Also, Andy coaches me through rebuilding movement patterns after spinal fusion surgery.

Andy translates complex exercise science into practical training wisdom. Enjoy!

The Atlantic’s Nick Thompson Is The Fastest Runner In Publishing: On Setting Age-Group Records, Beating Cancer, & Why Media Must Survive AI Oct 20, 2025

Show notes

Nick Thompson is CEO of The Atlantic, an elite marathoner, and author of the memoir The Running Ground.

This conversation explores how running reveals our deepest inherited patterns. We discuss Nick's journey from getting fired from CBS in under an hour to running The Atlantic, reconciling with his brilliant father's tragic collapse, setting age-group records at 50, and why AI threatens the very nature of reality.

We also discuss why the simple act of running becomes a portal for understanding your deepest patterns.

Nick offers profound lessons in post-traumatic growth. And he shares them generously. Enjoy!

Show notes

Joanne Molinaro, aka The Korean Vegan, is a James Beard Award-winning cookbook author who has redefined food storytelling through viral videos.

This conversation explores her journey from the facile safety of corporate law to creative uncertainty, using food to reconcile generational trauma, and navigating the liminal space between Korean tradition and personal evolution.

ROLL ON: American Tiger, Adventures Abroad, & The Art of Showing Up Oct 09, 2025

Show notes

Roll On is here! Adam Skolnick and I catch up after a month of nonstop travel. Tokyo for the Track & Field World Championships, New York, and DC multiple times.

Big news: Adam announces his debut novel American Tiger—20 years in the making, with the audiobook recorded right here in our studio.

Also on tap: my family crisis that required an Ocean's 11-style heist, accidentally crashing the wrong high school reunion, Alex Honnold scaling skyscrapers live on Netflix, the Norwegians sweeping Ironman Nice, and Sean Penn's performance in “One Battle After Another."

I get candid about what it means to show up when every button you have is being pushed, generational trauma, and practicing unconditional love. Buckle up!
