Part-interview, part-existential game show – this is Wild Card from NPR.
Host Rachel Martin rips up the typical interview script and invites guests to play a game about life’s biggest questions.
Rachel takes actors, artists and thinkers on a choose-your-own-adventure conversation that lets them open up about their fears, their joys and how they’ve built meaning from experience – all with the help of a very special deck of cards.
When “Weird Al” Yankovic’s debut single, “My Bologna,” came out, there wasn’t really a model for how a parody artist could have any longevity in their career. Yet Al’s figured out how to stay popular for over four decades. Ahead of his summer “Bigger & Weirder” tour, he talks with Rachel about staying weird as he ages, parenthood, and his devoted (some might say obsessive) fans.
