About this episode

Kelsey McKinney and Alex Sujong Laughlin discuss the new season of Try Hard, the challenges of writing a book, and answer listener questions.

Kelsey is here! Drew is not! Alex Sujong Laughlin is also here to discuss the new season of Try Hard , the first episode of which just came out last week. Alex has written some really good and really scathing stuff about the scourge of The Video Podcast—how is she trying to make this one different and better? Also, Kelsey is about to disappear for a month to write a book. How does she tackle the mental and emotional challenge of locking in for that kind of thing? Finally, Roth is taught about Love Island, and they open up the funbag to answer real questions from Defector readers and Distraction listeners. Do you want to hear your question answered on the pod?
