Tell us your dream dinner party guests!
I know, it’s unfair. Every week, WE get to choose the “Guest of Honor” for our show. To right this wrong, we’d love it if you’d let us know YOUR ideal guests. We’re looking for anyone you’d consider a fascinating tablemate - living, dead, famous, obscure, fictional. No limits.
Share your epic guest list by clicking HERE!
We’re hoping to build a web feature around this in the coming weeks. We might even include some of the best responses on the show and podcast.
To start this off, here are some of OUR choices (drumroll, please)
Jackson: Nick Park, Shaquille O’Neal, Frank Lloyd Wright, Rihanna, Michael Chabon, Katniss Everdeen, John Muir, Philippe Petit, C3P0
Brendan: MFK Fisher, Chris Rock, Vaclav Havel, Joan Didion, Martin Amis, Tyler the Creator, Tina Fey, Randy Newman, John Prine, Hawkeye Pierce, Patti Smith
(Stay tuned for Rico’s fantasy guest list…)
Thanks so much! Let me know if you have any questions about this story - you can always find me at jmusker@americanpublicmedia.org.
Cheers! Jackson

Tina Fey
Amy Sedaris would be the hostess. Jesus could bring the wine and bread. Mozart would provide the music. Julia Child would make dinner (and narrate). And of course, the DPD guys. And for laughs and conversation, Stephen Colbert, Tina Fey, and Steve Martin.
