One of our favorite guests in the last year or so has been author and comedian Simon Rich. A former editor of the Harvard Lampoon, Simon’s first book, Ant Farm, was released last year, and his follow-up, Free Range Chickens, comes this fall. The 23 year-old wunderkind is currently a writer for Saturday Night Live, and will be sharing a variety of pieces with us over the coming weeks.
