The second episode, released today, features Bennett’s conversation with ​actor and comedian Nick Offerman about his role as Chester Arthur in the Netflix series Death by Lightening, and his new book “Little Woodchucks: Offerman Woodshed’s Guide to Tools and Tomfoolery.” Last week’s inaugural episode was with Nawaz and New York Times financial columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin on ​his new book “1929: Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History–and How It Shattered a Nation,” and the lessons it teaches about today’s financial markets. Journalist and author Malcolm Gladwell and “The Health Nerd” and epidemiologist Dr. Gideon Meyerowitz-Katz will appear in future episodes.
