Produced by the ilab at Wbur Boston.
Hey, sugar fans.
This is producer emeritus Anne Marie Sievertsen.
And this week we're doing something a little different.
We're gonna feature an episode of the podcast as me with Sinead Burke.
And in this episode, Sinead interviews the actor Dan Levy, who you might know as one of the stars of Schitt's Creek.
So here it is, and enjoy.
Welcome to as me with Sinead.
I have an absolute treat for you today.
One of my favorite things to do, particularly when I travel, as a way in which to take my mind off whatever it is I'm doing, is to watch some smart, well written, funny, punchy fast, protagonist driven television with a hint of activism and advocacy within it.
And at the top of my list is Schitt's Creek.
I have talked about this to anybody who will listen, and this person for this week's episode of as me with Sinead has created that space and created the first pansexual character on mainstream television.
They're committed to making us, and me and all of us laugh and think.
And within this show, they've designed a world in which so much of the bigotry that exists within our quotidian experience is just not part of it.
This week's episode is with the extraordinary Dan Levy.
We talked about the evolution of David and Dan simultaneously and what it's like to work with his family.
My dad had it set in his mind that I should be wearing glasses for this character, and I felt very certain that he should not be wearing glasses.
And that was a thing that, like, got in.
We got into it in the early days of our show because he was like, I don't know.
I think you should wear glasses.
