Conversations I Want To Have Before We Both Die

By This River - Brian Eno by Caveh Zahedi

Ashley is a singer/songwriter who became one of the most memorable characters in The Show About the Show. Season 2 chronicled our brief romantic entanglement and subsequent disentanglement. Season 3 is about what happened during the making of Season 2. It was rough there for a while but we're still friends.

In the wake of Stefan's recent passing, Kathy, my ex, wanted to have another conversation before we both die. I wanted to as well.

Stefan Melichar died on September 30th. This podcast conversation was recorded in January of 2022. It was supposed to be the first podcast in the series but was never released.

Alex Karpovsky is one of my favorite people. He played himself in Episodes 1 and 2 of The Show About the Show. He was also in the HBO series Girls. He was also my guest on the pilot episode of Getting Stoned with Caveh.

Amin is my younger half-brother. He played himself in "I Don’t Hate Las Vegas Anymore," appeared briefly in "In the Bathtub of the World," can be glimpsed in the wedding scene in "I Am a Sex Addict," and is in the end credits of Episode 12 of "The Show About The Show." Patreon bonus tracks include links to all of the above plus more.

Arnold Barkus is a screenwriter and my main writing partner. We met in college where we were both philosophy majors and quickly became best friends. He played himself in both A Little Stiff and The Show About the Show.

Russell Brown is one of my favorite people in the world. His films include Race You to the Bottom (2005), The Blue Tooth Virgin (2008), and Loren & Rose (2022).

Jay Rosenblatt is a great filmmaker and one of my closest friends. His last two films were both nominated for oscars. His films include "Short of Breath," "Human Remains," "The Smell of Burning Ants," "Phantom Limb," "The Darkness of Day," "When We Were Bullies," and "How Do You Measure a Year?"
