Episode notes

Dave barry has worked in so many different media. He says part of it is like insecurity, so i want to keep producing. Alwayso f ar in despair, your yere in despair makes you funny. And and the constant worry that yo, you no longer can do it, and that you're not funny any more.

Though most know him first as a humor columnist, Dave Barry’s career has spanned many forms of media, including books, movies, TV, and music. Driving this relentless output, says Barry, is the constant worry he’ll find himself stuck in a rut — or worse — no longer funny. And do we even need professional comedians in an age where so many funny amateurs are readily available online?

Tyler and Dave discuss all these topics and more, including the weirdness of Peter Pan, what makes Florida special, how it felt to teach Roger McQuinn a lick on the guitar, and why business writing is so terrible.
