For this mini episode of The Write Question, host Lauren Korn speaks with NPR’s Rachel Martin about her new podcast, Wild Card—part-interview, part-existential game show. The former Morning Edition host rips up the typical interview script and invites her guests to play a game; she takes actors, artists, and thinkers on a choose-your-own-adventure conversation that lets them open up about their fears, their joys, and how they've built meaning from experience—all with the help of a very special deck of cards.
