Bryan Cranston spent the first 20 years of his career acting in commercials, TV soaps, playing guest roles on iconic shows such as Matlock, Baywatch and Seinfeld. It wasn't till his 40s when he started to see real success, when he was cast in the role of Hal on the much loved family comedy Malcolm in the Middle. But it was in his 50s that he took on the character that would raise his career to a whole new level and win him six Emmys, in the process playing Walter White in the astonishingly good Breaking Bad. His career has been nothing short of incredible. His work in the theater has brought him great acclaim, with not one but two Tony Awards, and recently he's spoken very openly about his want to perhaps retire from acting, at least for a moment.

Today we’re sharing an episode from Wiser Than Me, when Julia sits down with the iconic Ina Garten. 

Over the course of her 76 years, Ina has lived a few lives: she worked on nuclear policy at the White House, ran the beloved food store Barefoot Contessa, and went on to write best-selling cookbooks and host her own hit TV shows. But what’s always defined her isn’t just the food—it’s the way she brings people together around it. In this conversation, Ina reflects on how aging has reshaped her taste, the art of simplicity, and what she’s learned about handling those quietly difficult, passive-aggressive types we all know too well.

Today we’re sharing an episode from Fail Better with David Duchovny, featuring filmmaker and writer Judd Apatow. Together, they trace the arc of Judd’s career, from Anchorman and Bridesmaids to Superbad and The 40-Year-Old Virgin, before diving into his new visual memoir, Comedy Nerd: A Lifelong Obsession in Stories and Pictures.

Throughout their conversation, Judd reflects on what’s driven him all these years—not the need to prove he’s funny, but the desire to understand if he has anything to say in the first place. It’s something David relates to as a writer, and it runs through the pages of Judd’s new book: a collection of everything he’s made and gathered while trying to make sense of this life he’s made.

They also talk about the sting of bad reviews, why they’ve both stopped Googling themselves, and how Judd’s documentary on Garry Shandling became a final act of friendship and legacy.
