About Try! with Nate Dern
From the publisher's feed
Hosted by comedy writer Nate Dern, each episode interviews someone trying something new. It's dedicated to all of those who get outside of their comfort zone and try something different, learn a…
skill, or just experience something new. The topics range from the silly (eating a ghost pepper or learning to roller skate) to the serious (saving endangered wolves or changing how elections work). Nate is a comedy writer and a sociologist, so each episode tries to make you laugh and hopefully make you learn something, too. Nate writes for The Tonight Show and is the author of the book "Not Quite a Genius." Whatever it is you're trying to do, I hope you keep on trying.
