You'd Think That Radio Was Around Long

The Entire Culture Was Organized For People Who Are Happy. People Who Are Miserable Need Reassurance That Other People Are Miserable.

But Sadly, One Of The Problems With Being On Public Radio Is That People Tend To Think You're Being Sincere All The Time.

I Remember Clearly That When I Was Little It Was Explained To Me [that] The Way That Babies Were Made Was That God Put The Baby Into Some Lady's Stomach, Right? And, At Some Point, I Learned How It Really Happened, And Really That Was The Beginning Of The End Of My Belief In God. Up Until That Point, It Had Always Been A Really Weird Act Of Intervention On God's Part.

One Reason I Do The Live Shows - And The Monthly Speeches At Public Radio Stations - Is To Remind Myself That People Hear The Show, That It Has An Audience, That It Exists In The World. It's So Easy To Forget That.

You Will Be Fierce. You Will Fearless. And You Will Make Work You Know In Your Heart Is Not As Good As You Want It To Be.
