Shortly before David Plotz launched Working, his new podcast series, he sat down with two people who have worked for him. Maxwell Tani is the current Political Gabfest intern and the producer of Working, and Jeff Friedrich is a Slate Plus editor and former Gabfest intern.
After David tells Max and Jeff that they’re “asking a lot of questions about what’s not in the project,” he explains how the project is not like Studs Terkel’s Working, and why that’s OK.
