Today we have the super talented and crazy funny Brandon Scott Jones on the podcast to talk about the word "fire!" If you're an enemy of our guest, this would be a great episode to start with in order to find about the things he's frightened of as well as a variety of other topics, until ultimately, you're charmed by him and you forget why you were enemies in the first place. It's a Win/Win, like in that movie, "50/50!"

Today on the show, it's New York Times Bestselling author, Lev Grossman ("The Magicians," "The Magician King").
