Episode 489: Molly Lambert

Listen Later

Molly Lambert is a writer and host of the new podcast HeidiWorld: The Heidi Fleiss Story.

“I think as a writer I always had this thing: I don't want to be out front. I don't want the spotlight on me. I'm not an actor. I want to be lurking in the back with the cast accepting the applause, but I don't want to be the center of attention. And so I think kind of like making peace with like, Look man, it's fine to be the center of attention when you made something you're proud of.”
