Hahn, Solo: Trump on A.I., Mail-In Voting, and All That Jazz
Trump said we have nothing to worry about with A.I., which means we'll be okay (said no one ever). Also, a victory for mail-in voting and more nonsense from the Trump administration about the Kennedy Center. And finally... All That Jazz (1979), directed by Bob Fosse at the Paris Theater. Great movie, great experience. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers o

Hahn, Solo: Tuesday, August 4th
I'd love for moderate, establishment Democrats to stop bitching and calling out the far right and the far left, and start to come up with better messaging. Also... I found David Ellisons op-ed in today's NYT to be, well, silly. And I'd really like men to start owning their f%k-ups and learn to apologize. "I'm sorry; I was wrong" goes a long way.

A Candid Conversation with Gary Gulman
Some weeks ago, I got to sit down with Gary Gulman: comedian, writer, actor, storyteller, college classmate, and friend. And to my own embarrassment and shame, I only just got around to editing this. We got into comedy, depression, anxiety, electro-convulsive therapy, creativity, walking through fear, finding community and connection, eating vegan... we broke it all down in what I thought was a th

To mark the release of his latest album, "Free State of California," I talked with Greg Proops, one of my absolute favorite comics.

Hahn, Solo: The Great Visual Style of The Fantastic Four

I treated myself to an outstanding shave yesterday. Game changer (or at least
Hahn, Solo: Loving the Cinema
Since I became an AMC Stubs member, I've been going to the movies a lot. Among the things I've noticed are the numbers of people actually going to the movies and the number of surprisingly good movies to see. I'll be curious to see the numbers of this year's summer blockbuster season compared to the past few years (pre and post Covid). This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with o

Episode Nº 3: Sandra Bernhard
Where do I begin about my guest on this episode? How do I begin? When I was a kid at home, I remember seeing her on late night cable doing standup at the IMPROV, unable get enough of her bawdy flavor of comedy and confidence. Then, in 1989, my dad bought me a cassette of her hit one-woman show "Without You I'm Nothing." Like countless other gay men, I was transfixed. I didn't really know that this

Hahn, Solo: What Red Wave?
In this episode, I throw down some of my feelings after the 2022 midterm elections. The big takeaway, of course, is that there was no "Red Wave." In fact, it was really more like a referendum on the GOP.I also have a report on the sad state of sartorial affairs around my new office in Rockefeller Center. Other than the viral boner killer known as the sleeveless fleece vest, the big news is that th

The Sublime Glory of a New York Slice
Since many have told me how much they enjoy seeing New York through my social media content, I thought I'd try a little experiment with my occasional podcast. The idea was inspired by another podcast I recently heard where two people were discussing the lunch they were having - as they were having it - at a well known New York steakhouse. I loved the idea and decided to try something similar.In th
