The show is not systematic. Do you pick it up every few weeks and say, all right, now I'm going to spend a day on this? Is it systematic or is it sort of feel? Yeah, it just a lot of very unexpected places. And I'm interested in some really specific things that pop into my mind, like process things when I'm listening to the show.
Jonathan Goldstein is an audio producer and the host of Heavyweight.
“I wasn’t taking myself very seriously, initially. I liked working with my friends and family because I think I was a little more comfortable with them. Then in the second season people were writing in with real problems, and they were looking at me as a kind of expert. It was terrifying to meet with these people and see the look of hopefulness in their eyes. ... I realized I need to step it up and even if I didn’t feel like an expert—an expert in an invented field that doesn’t really exist—that I’d really have to take that on with seriousness.”
