Episode 167: Kurt Andersen
Kurt Andersen is the co-founder of Spy Magazine, the author of several books, and the host of Studio 360.\n\n\u201cAs a young person, I never thought of myself as a risk-taker.

So fuck it, try it.\u2019\u201d\n\nThanks to MailChimp, MasterClass, The Message, RealtyShares, and Prudential for sponsoring this week's episode.\n\nShow Notes:\n@KBAndersen\nkurtandersen.com\nAndersen on Longform\n[2:00] The Spy Magazine archive on Google Books\n[12:00] Private Eye\n[19:00] "Felkerism" (New York \u2022 Jul 2008)\n[25:00] "When a Magazine Is Too Brash for the Bottom Line" (Robin Pogrebin \u2022 New York Times \u2022 Sep 1996)\n[28:00] Turn of the Century (Random House \u2022 1999)\n[28:00] Heyday (Random House \u2022 2007)\n[31:00] "The Digital Bubble " (New Yorker \u2022 Jan 1998)\n[33:00] "Inside Out" (Ken Auletta \u2022 New Yorker \u2022 May 2006)\n[40:00] Studio 360\n[42:00] "Lily Tomlin's Audacious Life" (Studio 360 \u2022 Aug 2015)\n[54:00] "Here Is New York" (E.B.
