Today we're joined by Kyle Ridley, who's the host of the Tangle a Pop Culture podcast where conversations with comedians, actors, and creators go way beyond the quick soundbite. Before launching the show, Kyle spent years working in morning television booking celebrity guests, so he knows how to ask the questions that turn a short interview into a real conversation.
