155. David Sedaris Returns: A Creative’s Dream and a Fact Checker’s Nightmare

Mike Birbiglia's Working It Out

This week Mike has all-timer David Sedaris back on the podcast. Sedaris, of course, wrote Naked, Me Talk Pretty One Day, and Holidays on Ice, among other classics. The two discuss where the truth lies in autobiographical non-fiction, fact-checking comedy at The New Yorker, and how to navigate storytelling when it's all too personal. Plus, David plays F**k, Marry, Kill, with his own published works and Mike can’t accept the answer. 

Please consider giving money to a stranger in need.
