Why has RuPaul's Drag Race's Snatch Game been so disappointing in recent seasons? I have a theory, and discuss that, how I got started in improv, and the significance of saying "yes, and" in comedy and life. Plus: recommendations for a podcast and free ebooks, and life advice from TV, starring Quinta Brunson.

Today, we go behind the scenes of Survivor’s camera camps, the off-limits to players area where crew who film at tribe beaches go to rest and recharge, literally.

Also, I talk about why I didn't write about The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives earlier, and share recommendations, including for a trip on a space elevator.

How I'm trying to stay focused on what matters despite the river of b.s. that's raging. Plus: behind-the-scenes of two failed interviews, and recommendations that include Ryan Seacrest falling over, tee hee!

After a three-year hiatus, my podcast is returning for the new year!

If you didn't know it existed three years ago, no worries: Walking with Andy was a one-year, 16-episode thing attached to my newsletter.

Now, it's back, renamed Andy Dehnart's Reality Blurred.—though I'm considering adding a comma: Andy Dehnart's Reality, Blurred.

After I do some technical things, it'll be available in whatever podcast player or app you'd like—or right here, in both audio ⬆️ and text ⬇️ form.

This intro episode is for me to get things working and ready for the true launch in January; I'm aiming for weekly releases, with some likely breaks.

You can expect recommendations, reality TV discussions, and whatever else is happening in my reality. Let me know what you think, and what you'd like to hear me discuss!
