Description

???
Paul and Stephen get their daily dose of happiness during PART 1 of this illuminating and hilarious chat with writer, comedian, late night host, Mr. Stephen Colbert.

Have you ever wondered why some spell Stephen with a V, while others with a PH? No? It’s great party fodder, trust us!
Mr. Colbert captivates with his love of fishing, the evolution of the flounder, the consequences of unaddressed grief, and the religious sermon that changed him forever. Stay tuned for talk of Jungian archetypes and two transformative stories from Colbert’s Northwestern University days. Also on the docket: some causes of atheism, Paul’s affinity for contact guilt and contact sin, G.K. Chesterton and the difference between belief and faith. All this and Talking Heads make an appearance. It’s too much, yet it’s all in this week’s Chinwag! 

Bonus: you might’ve been saying Colbert wrong all this time.

chin-wag: to have a chat, a friendly conversation. Actor Paul Giamatti and Stephen Asma, author and philosopher, join forces for a freewheeling series of conversations that dive deep (like, really, really deep) into the wilderness of the mind. Featuring prominent guests from diverse fields, Chinwag is esoteric in the best way possible, as Paul and Stephen delve into anything and everything: Are we living in a simulation? What’s the most perfect sentence in literature? Is Bigfoot interdimensional? Science, the occult, philosophy, magic mushrooms… it’s all fair game! Unexpected, hilarious, and maybe even profound — Chinwag is all about having a really, really good chat.
