Andrew Leland was kind enough to let me (Jamie) talk at him about the role of fame in the rise of Donald J. Trump. Andrew heads the team that makes the Beleiver/Mcscweeney's/KCRW-affiliated Organist podcast (http://www.kcrw.com/news-culture/shows/the-organist) after being a longtime editor of The Believer. Andrew also just moved to our Happy Valley and is teaching at Smith College.
