Jon Koppel Podcast

Christian Mangual and I swapped stories about debauchery in Nashville, his euphoric experience at an LCD Soundsystem concert, the most fun way to clean your apartment, and coping with the Sunday night blues after a great weekend. Christian also told me some funny stories about his family and we run down the power rankings of Puerto Rican celebrities.

Ron Metellus came by to talk about his recent trip to New Orleans, subpar Bloody Mary's, fitness boot camps running amok, bad drivers, and the thrilling state of Philly sports. Ron also tells me how he landed a fellowship with The Onion and how he plans to balance his new life in Chicago.

I took a field trip to the legendary Grape Room where I sat down with Ryan Kay, Megan Goetz, and Sylis P for a spirited debate about which is the greatest American holiday: Thanksgiving or Independence Day. We broke it all down... turkey dinner vs BBQ, football vs baseball, quality time with family vs partying with friends, parades vs fireworks, Planes Trains & Automobiles vs Jaws, and more. At the end, we all make our own rulings.
