7. The Sitcom Patriot (feat. Rob Long)

TV was once essential to feeling part of the American family. What happened? The latest sitcom star cancellation breaks the moment I sit down at Joe's Coffee with Rob Long, to discuss what’s going on behind the scenes of showbiz since his days as head writer and producer of Cheers.
 
Rob Long is the author of Conversations With My Agent and Set Up, Joke, Set Up, Joke, the syndicated radio show/podcast Martini Shot, co-host of The Ricochet Podcast, writes a column for Commentary Magazine, and is a regular guest on the Greg Gutfeld Show. Since Cheers, he's co-created or executive produced a half dozen shows including George and Leo (starring Bob Newhart), Sullivan & Son, and Kevin Can Wait (starring Kevin James).

6. Addicted to Art: Chinatown Edition

Adam Lehrer — author of the new book Communions, "an attempt to probe the haunting singularity of opiate addiction and its ineradicable influence on art and culture," host of the System of Systems podcast, and curator of the digital magazine Safety Propaganda — guides us through a new opening at "no gallery" in the filthy art scene of lower Manhattan, where fragments of drugs, conspiracy, gossip, cancel outrage, and memories of Michael Jackson may or may not lead to something real.
