In this episode, Neil talks to the one person he's not isolating from: his husband, actor and comedian Jeff Hiller, from TV's 30 Rock, Broadway's Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, solo shows at Joe's Pub at the Public Theatre, and many, many others. The podcast has always been about the everyday, and right now our everyday is coronavirus.

Jeff was a regular on Ali Wentworth's series Nightcap, and played Maggie's new work friend on the third season of "Playing House". At the movies, Jeff played a snooty waiter to Hugh Dancy and Rose Byrne in "Adam", a pissed off waiter in the Netflix comedy, Set It Up and got fancy as the head waiter opposite Chloe Grace Moretz and Isabelle Huppert in "Greta".

ABOUT THE TITLE SHE'S A TALKER was the name of Neil's first video project. "One night in the early 90s I was combing my roommate's cat and found myself saying the words 'She's a talker.' I wondered how many other other gay men in NYC might be doing the exact same thing at that very moment. With that, I set out on a project in which I videotaped over 80 gay men in their living room all over NYC, combing their cats and saying 'She's a talker.'" A similar spirit of NYC-centric curiosity and absurdity animates the podcast.
