Probably the Worst Interview in the History of Journalism

EPISODE 400: The words of John Green and Daniel Alarcón.

I’d been wondering how to bring Friend of PTFO John Green — the bestselling author, prolific YouTuber, and AFC Wimbledon sponsor — back into our studio.

And then I discovered that John’s friendship with Daniel Alarcón — the MacArthur Genius, New Yorker writer, and Radio Ambulante co-founder — dates back to their days together in high school in Birmingham, Alabama.

And… soccer.

Together, we dissect the untapped power of fans; uncomfortable compliments; banned books; scenes without adjectives; teenage photos; Germany 7, Brazil 1; (not) profiling Leo Messi; Alexi Lalas; and how to give a motivational speech.
