Really Famous Celebrity Interviews

When the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) asked me to record a few podcast episodes at their New York City conference, I happily said yes. Here's my conversation with actor Adam Stephenson, from Mr. Mercedes, The Purge, 13 Reasons Why and more. It was recorded at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York at the NAB Podcast Studio. Most Really Famous episodes are more conversational than interview-ish, and this chat with Adam is no exception. He's a deadpan, funny, smart guy - and we laugh.
