Episode 327: Julie Snyder

Published: Jan. 23, 2019, 5:57 p.m.

b'Julie Snyder, one of the first producers at This American Life, is the co-creator of Serial and S-Town. Serial Season 3 is out now.\\n\\n\\u201cI am constantly second-guessing myself. I am full of regret and recrimination all the time. I don\\u2019t pride myself on it cause it probably goes too far, but in other ways I do feel like I am a person who is very flawed and I make mistakes and I try and learn from them. And I try to be very open to other people\\u2019s thoughts and input and everything like that. So to be that open to criticism after season one [of Serial] was rough for being that open because we just got so much attention. I could feel people being like, \\u2018Oh, go cry on your bags of money.\\u2019 It was huge. I got that, but at the same time, it was hard to ignore.\\u201d\\n\\nThanks to MailChimp, First Day Back, and Pitt Writers for sponsoring this week\'s episode.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nThe Longform Podcast Live: The Mastermind book release party with special guests\\n\\n\\nSerial\\n\\n\\nS-Town\\n\\n\\nLongform Podcast #159: Ira Glass\\n\\n\\nLongform Podcast #239: Brian Reed\\n\\n\\nLongform Podcast #273: Zoe Chace\\n\\n\\n[7:20] Courtroom 302: A Year Behind the Scenes in an American Criminal Courthouse (Steve Bogira \\u2022 Vintage \\u2022 2006)\\n\\n\\n[58:50] Snyder on This American Life\\n\\n\\n[59:05] "Throwing the First Punch" (This American Life \\u2022 Mar 1998)\\n\\n\\n[1:11:45] "Ira Glass\'s Commencement Speech at the Columbia Journalism School Graduation" (Ira Glass \\u2022 This American Life \\u2022 May 2018)\\n\\n\\n[1:18:10] "Harper High School\\u2014Part One" (This American Life \\u2022 Feb 2013)\\n\\n\\n[1:18:15] "Harper High School\\u2014Part Two" (This American Life \\u2022 Feb 2013)\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
