Ep 25 - Dan Frey - a podcast by James Hillmer

Ep 25: I talked to science fiction novelist and screen writer, Dan Frey (@wordsbydanfrey). His novel, The Future is Yours is out 2/9 on Del Rey, but you can pick it up for preorder at links below. It is also available as a full cast audiobook on Audible. The book is a very innovative look at what would happen if “two best friends create a computer that can predict the future. But what they can’t predict is how it will tear their friendship—and society—apart.” We also watched Mike Birbiglia’s The New One on Netflix because Dan also just became a father! We talked about standup comedy, tech and social media's impact on society, and just how damn creative and brilliant Mike Birbiglia is. 

*We talk about it in the episode and I did confirm that Eddie Izzard does now go by she/her pronouns. Cool, good for her.
