Elizabeth Gilbert, Gillian Jacobs and Fred Armisen

Elizabeth Gilbert's new novel traces the life of a woman living in the 19th century as a botanist. Jesse will ask Elizabeth about what the reaction to 'Eat, Pray, Love' has meant to her — both the good and the not-so-good. Then Jesse sits down with Gillian Jacobs. She plays Britta on the NBC sitcom Community. Plus, Portlandia's Fred Armisen talks about the album he wishes HE had made; our film critic buddies at The Dissolve pick out a couple of films you'll want to watch ASAP, and Jesse tells you why a perfect balance between the real and unreal makes one particular video game so enticing.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
