Podcast: Jordan, Jesse, Go!
hollywoodartcritic:
I’ve been listening to a lot of the podcast called Jordan, Jesse Go! lately, and I’m a bit uncertain as to why. Certainly the show has its enjoyable qualities, which would encourage an occasional — or even weekly — listen. It consists of about an hour of gabbing between two friends. The first is Jesse Thorn, who also hosts The Sound of Young America, a very good interview...

Jesse: Your hair has a certain sinuous sexuality.
Jordan: Yeah! It's like a head full of genital-biting snakes.
Jesse: You're like a male medusa.

Jesse Thorn
buckcast:
Jesse Thorn was gracious enough to let me bring the BuckTrain to the ThornManor for this sixth installment of The Buckshot Boogaloo Podcast. Jesse Thorn made jokes. Jesse Thorn made insightful comments about baseball and life. We talked about his humble beginnings and subsequent rise to the top of the radio world. Fun and good times were had by all. I think.

Judd Apatow on The Sound of Young America →
foreignparts:
In November 2010, Jesse Thorn interviewed Judd Apatow for The Sound of Young America. I’ve heard Judd Apatow interviewed several times, but this one is special. Jesse Thorn reaches Terry Gross heights of engagement and insight. Hearing Thorn interview comedians/comic writers/comic actors is sublime—he is just in his element and has the context and insight that comes not from...
