This week, I talk with Stephen Rodrick, a writer for The New York Times Magazine. He wrote the cover story for the Jan. 10 issue of the Times magazine, titled "The Misfits." Online, thanks to search engine optimization, the story was called "Here is what happens when you cast Lindsay Lohan in your movie." Rodrick was embedded with the cast and crew of the movie, The Canyons, which was directed by Paul Schrader, and starred Lindsay Lohan.
Rodrick has also written the memoir "The Magical Stranger: A Son's Journey into his Father's Life."
Check out Rodrick's Longform page to read more of his work, including stories he's written since joining the podcast.
