The Thruline with Jay Larson

When you’re the youngest of four kids in a single parent house you don’t always get all of your needs met. That’s why comedian, writer and over all inquisitor Jay Larson has so many unanswered interests. Jay uses a type writer because his grandfather did, who else does? Jay wants to be a classic rock vinyl guy but all that was ever played in his house was classical music. He loves old cars but can’t even change oil let alone how many cylinders one has. Each week Jay will explore his curiosities with two separate guests to help him better understand true Crime, Bird watching, Story Telling or surviving life in unusual living conditions. With 17 years as a stand up comedian, actor, writer and weird person who will talk to anyone Jay has acquired a vast range of friends. Which enables him to talk Vinyl records with Marc Maron, binoculars with House of Cards star Michael Kelly (Stamper), Storytelling with Ira Glass, Type Writers with a German ex-physis repairman, and many other random topics. While each topic acts as a thru line to each episode Larson digs deeper to explore how we are all connected to simple things in life.

Justin Willman Feb 19, 2019

Show notes

Being a wizard doesn’t necessarily make you a magician, for instance Dan Harmon is a Dungeons and Dragons phenom but he can’t make you disappear. But I ask you, does being a magician make you a wizard? Or give you wizardry? Take a listen to this week’s interview with Magician and TV host Justin Willman as we talk about how one gets into magic, gets into comedy and manages to do it both with class and style. Such a great guy, give a listen and hare across all social media! #thruline
