The Wonder of It All is a podcast about the blessings and curses of success. Sean Nelson, former lead singer of Harvey Danger, interviews artists (musicians, filmmakers, TV creators, actors, writers, etc.) about the ways their lives and careers were shaped by a conspicuous breakthrough, and how the experience changed their lives and careers for good and ill. The conversations aim for candid discussion of the way guests reacted to the opportunities and limitations afforded by their successes, and how—and if—they’ve made peace with the long shadow cast by good fortune.
Sean Nelson sits down with John Hodgman, best known as ‘PC’ from Apple’s Get a Mac campaign, to discuss his eclectic career—from literary agent to best-selling author and Daily Show ‘resident expert.’ They dive into the rise of nerd culture, 90s cynicism, and why our dreams for Silicon Valley now feel naive. Hodgman also shares what it’s like to be ‘visually famous’ and how it feels when that fame fades.
