About

Wiretap features telephone conversations between Jonathan Goldstein (regular contributor This American Life and author of Lenny Bruce is Dead) and his friends Joshua Karpati, Gregor Ehrlich and Howard Chackowicz with appearances from his family, Buzz and Dyna Goldstein, Heather O’Neill and Arizona “ZouZou” O’Neill as well as other regular guests such as David Rakoff, Shalom Auslander and Jorge Just. The content is part fiction, part improv, part heartbreaking, part hilarious, part frivolous, part profound and pretty much amazing all around.
