In Quarantine with Steve Bodow
Ben Smith Distrusts Facebook, TikTok, and Poppy Seeds
In Quarantine with Steve Bodow is a twice-weekly series of funny, insightful, and revealing 10-minute conversations between some of America’s least house-leaving artists and thinkers, and 14-time Emmy-winning former Daily Show executive producer Steve Bodow. Offering a quick hit of connection, In Quarantine is about how creative people are living, personally and professionally, in this very weird time.
Guests include Ben Sinclair (star/co-creator, HBO’s High Maintenance), A.J. Jacobs (editor at large, Esquire), Jessica Koslow (James Beard finalist chef, Sqirl Restaurant), and many others!
