NEWSTALK 1010: IN DEPTH WITH Craig Taylor + Lucas Hedges + Anthony Q Farrell!

This week on the Richard Crouse Show Podcast we meet Craig Taylor, author of “New Yorkers: A City and Its People in Our Time.” Taylor is a chronicler of some of the world’s greatest cities. His book “Londoners” was called the “best book about London in at least a decade” and the new one on New York City, which is made up of profiles of bodega cashiers, hospital nurses, elevator repairmen, emergency dispatchers; the people who wire the lights at the top of the Empire State Building, clean the windows of Rockefeller Center, and keep the subway running. It’s a book about the New York you don’t often read about and it is already getting rave reviews. The Independent called it, “Jaw-dropping…enthralling…Start spreading the news: Taylor’s book is a stunning work of modern social history.”

Then Anthony Q. Farrell joins us. He’s a former stand up comedian who has written for “The Office,” was executive story editor for “Little Mosque on the Prairie” and is known for his work as a writer on the Nickelodeon sitcom “The Thundermans.” He’s back with two new shows “The Parker Andersons” and “Amelia Parker” which you’ll find on the Super Channel. What makes these shows unique is that they are two stand-alone comedy series, each with their own storylines and episodes, but are connected by larger overarching plot lines tying the two independent shows together.

Finally, you know my guest Lucas Hedges from his Academy Award nominated performance in “Manchester by the Sea” and you’ve seen him in “Lady Bird” and the film “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.” His latest movie, “French Exit” has him starring opposite Michele Pfeiffer. He joins us to talk about his claim that he took on the role of the son of a soon to be broke Manhattan socialite because he wanted to be bored while playing a character.
