Author and comedian Josh Gondelman chats with Andy Richter about giving the best apologies, laying the groundwork for a writing career, and the most important $40 he was ever given. Plus, Josh talks bridging the gap between stand-up and teaching, stone-sober breakfast dates, and his new book Nice Try: Stories of Best Intentions and Mixed Results.

Host Andy Richter asks the same three questions to each guest: Where do you come from? Where are you going? What have you learned? These three simple questions, when answered honestly and thoughtfully, are enough to provide a pretty complete picture of who a person is. The answers are what Andy always wants to know about people. This will not be a one-sided process, as Andy won’t shy away from getting personal himself.
