b"Cord Jefferson is a journalist turned television writer whose credits include Succession, The Good Place, and Watchmen.\\n\\n\\u201cI\\u2019m a fearful person. I\\u2019m afraid of a lot of things. I\\u2019m afraid of how people perceive me, I\\u2019m afraid of hurting myself, I\\u2019m afraid of heights. I\\u2019m afraid of a lot. Bravery does not come naturally to me. But the moments when I feel like I\\u2019ve done the best in my life and been the proudest of myself are when I\\u2019ve overcome that fear to do something that scares me.\\u201d\\n\\nThanks to Mailchimp, Pitt Writers, and Squarespace for sponsoring this week's episode.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n@cordjefferson\\n\\n\\ncordjefferson.tumblr.com\\n\\n\\nLongform Podcast #61: Cord Jefferson\\n\\n\\nJefferson on Longform\\n\\n\\n[01:55] \\u201cVideo of Violent, Rioting Surfers Shows White Culture of Lawlessness\\u201d (Gawker \\u2022 2013)\\n\\n\\n[02:02] \\u201cCord Jefferson, Chris Hayes Ask What White Community Will Do About \\u2018White Criminal Culture\\u2019 (VIDEO)\\u201d (HuffPost \\u2022 2013)\\n\\n\\n[10:05] \\u201cManti Te'o's Dead Girlfriend, The Most Heartbreaking And Inspirational Story Of The College Football Season, Is A Hoax\\u201d (Deadspin \\u2022 2013)\\n\\n\\n[22:58] The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore (2015-2016)\\n\\n\\n[29:50] Master of None\\n\\n\\n[29:55] The Good Place\\n\\n\\n[29:57] Watchmen\\n\\n\\n[29:59] Succession\\n\\n\\n[30:05] \\u201cMackenzie Davis & Himesh Patel To Star In \\u2018Station Eleven\\u2019 HBO Max Limited Series\\u201d (Deadline \\u2022 2019)\\n\\n\\n[59:31] \\u201cDon't Stop Running: A Case for Trying\\u201d (The Awl \\u2022 2012)\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
