Turning Pop Culture into Deep Analysis

Nerdwriter's YouTube channel has helped me through the lockdown. I especially enjoy the video where he breaks down Louis C.K.'s joke about playing monopoly with his daughter, and how his daughter learned a valuable adult lesson from the game! I have watched that video over and over, more than 10 times! In this episode, I am fortunate enough to have the creator of Nerdwriter, Evan Puschak, an American video essayist, and journalist on to talk about his new book, Escape into Meaning: Essays on Superman, Public Benches, and Other Obsessions!It's such a fascinating book! We broke down some of the videos from Nerdwriter, especially Louis C.K.'s video, Darth Vader, Jerry Seinfeld, and also How Donald Trump Answers a Question!! We also talked about what drove Evan to write this book, how he grow his YouTube channel, and what motivates him to keep creating content!Visit Notepd.com to read more idea lists, or sign up and create your own idea list!My new book Skip The Line is out!
