In episode 22 of the “How I Library” podcast, show host and I Love Libraries editor Phil Morehart speaks with actor, writer, and musician David Duchovny.
With an acting career that stretches more than three decades, Duchovny is best known for playing FBI agent Fox Mulder on the TV series “The X-Files” and writer Hank Moody on the TV series “Californication,” both of which earned him Golden Globe awards. He is also host of the podcast, “Fail Better with David Duchovny," a successful singer-songwriter, and author of six best-selling novels. Duchovny’s latest book, “About Time: Poems” (Akashic Books, 2025), is his first collection of poetry.
Duchovny joins the show to discuss “About Time: Poems,” his writing and music, his thoughts on book bans and censorship, and, of course, how he libraries. He also reads a brand-new poem for our listeners.
