Storytime With Seth Rogen

What’s your best anecdote?

Having asked around the P.S. office there’s one bloke who got sued by a Hollywood A-lister. One girl went out for “just one drink” and had the night of her life at a secret warehouse rave in ultra-hip Brooklyn.

Another was kissed, out of the blue, by a famous actor... of the same sex.

Most people when they think about it have had something remarkable happen to them; even the little tales which don’t seem so remarkable have such a profound effect they are memorable anyway.

These true stories, big and small, are often wheeled out at dinner parties around the same time as the Vienetta, much to everyone’s delight.

If only there was a regular supply of them to pick over. What’s that? There’s a new podcast from comedy star Seth Rogen?

One where he interviews someone about one small but incredibly memorable thing that has happened to them? Well that sounds perfect!

Welcome to Storytime With Seth Rogen, where every week Seth asks somebody:“do you have a great story? And if you do, will you tell it on my podcast?”

It’s a simple concept but also as delicious as that Vienetta. No one has done this before, it seems.

You might be familiar with comedian chatshow-style podcasts (like Marc Maron or Richard Herring) but Storytime is more like a lighthearted documentary than a back-andforth chat.

Not all the stories are kneeslap funny, and not all the guests are known.

From a near-death grizzly bear fight in remote Canada, to a lifealtering celebrity encounter in a movie theatre, to the revelation of a family secret, Storytime starts with Seth’s curiosity about people and always ends up in an unexpected place.
