Writer Neal Pollack may be a natural skeptic, but he thinks that’s nonsense and he returns to the podcast to talk about better living through laughter (and not in a “live, love, laugh” kind of way). He discusses his various careers—professional writer, professional poker player, three-time Jeopardy champion—his thoughts on COVID-19 lockdowns, the culture of Austin, and his recent battle with sofa dermatitis. Most importantly, he talks about his upcoming course for The Unspeakeasy School of Thought, Writing Humor in Humorless Times. Unlike most writing workshops, which limit students to the arduous activity of *writing*, Neal will also be available to teach students how to be funny on TwitterX, TikTok, at dinner parties, or even while muttering to themselves while walking down the street. ————————— GUEST BIO Neal Pollack is the author of 12 semi-bestselling works of fiction and nonfiction, including the memoirs “Alternadad,” “Stretch,” and “Pothead,” the novels “Jewball,” “Keep Mars Weird,” “Edge of Safety,” and “Never Mind the Pollacks,” and the cult short-fiction classic “The Neal Pollack Anthology of American Literature.” His “Greatest Living American Writer” satire pieces have appeared in McSweeney’s, Salon, The Federalist, The Spectator, and the Jewish Daily Forward/. He is a three-time Jeopardy! champion, a certified yoga instructor, a semi-professional poker player, a Generation X legend, and the editor-in-chief of Book and Film Globe. https://www.bookandfilmglobe.com/ ————————— HOUSEKEEPING ✈️ Unspeakeasy Retreats: https://bit.ly/3zl3Ezd ✏️ Learn about our upcoming Unspeakeasy School of Thought coed courses in fiction, memoir, and humor writing: https://bit.ly/3XA6mZX 🥂 Join The Unspeakeasy, my community for freethinking women: https://bit.ly/4eEv5Dl
