Jen Chaney is the TV Journalist for the Entertainment website Vulture, and the Author of the book As If!: The Oral History of Clueless as told by Amy Heckerling and the Cast and Crew

I first became familiar\\xa0with Jen\'s work on Vulture, by reading her hilarious\\xa0and insightful episode-by-episode recap of Downton Abbey (which you should really check out).

She was also kind\\xa0enough to cohost with me on a podcast about the final season of Downton Abbey.\\xa0

Jen talks with me about the process of interview and editing that goes into an Oral History, as well as the creativity in telling\\xa0compelling\\xa0nonfiction stories.\\xa0

Be sure to follow up this interview\\xa0by reading Jen\'s book, check out her NY Mag Archives, and\\xa0also\\xa0follow her on Twitter!
