#34: Jennifer Armstrong - "Seinfeldia"


Listen Later

We promise this won't be a podcast about nothing!

Join us, as we talk with Jennifer Armstrong, the author of the New York Times Bestseller, "Seinfeldia: How a Show About Nothing Changed Everything." Jennifer explains how Jerry Seinfeld created "Seinfeld," and how the brilliant Larry David created a world inside of a world inside of a world! She explains why "Seinfeldia" is actually a place, a place where we can explore the "gaps in society," as Seinfeld once put it. How much do you tip a chambermaid? Who withdraws from a mutually agreed upon party if there's a breakup? Who is spongeworthy? Should you ever park in a space for those who are handicapped?

She explains how the show was created and how it reshaped all of our minds in the process!! Do our top-five episodes jive with yours?
