Episode 538: Brittany Luse

Brittany Luse is the host of NPR’s It’s Been a Minute. “One of the things I love about this job is everything is practice. I love it. It's like if a show is great and everyone loves it, you gotta put on another one. You just gotta do it again. And if the show didn't quite do what you'd hoped or set out to do in your mind and in your heart, you gotta do another one. I just love it. You can never feel too good and you can never feel too bad.” Show notes: @bmluse 02:00 "#497: Sam Sanders" (Longform Podcast • Aug 2022) 02:00 "Kale-flavored Cheez-Its" (Sampler • Gimlet • Jun 2016) 03:00 It’s Been a Minute (NPR) 04:00 "Brittany goes to 'Couples Therapy;' Plus, why Hollywood might strike" (It’s Been a Minute • NPR • Apr 2023) 04:00 "Tina Turner's happy ending" (It’s Been a Minute • NPR • May 2023) 05:00 "Relationship Goals" (Sampler • Gimlet • Mar 2016) 12:00 Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical (Working Title Films • 2022) 24:00 The Nod (Gimlet) 25:00 "Whole Hog" (The Nod • Gimlet • Sep 2017) 27:00 "The Hairstons Part 1: Snakes on a Plantation" (The Nod • Gimlet • Dec 2017) 27:00 "The Hairstons Part 1: Diary of a Mad Black Cousin" (The Nod • Gimlet • Dec 2017) 29:00 "Hair, Laid" (The Nod • Gimlet • May 2018) 29:00 "I Want That Purple Stuff" (The Nod • Gimlet • Aug 2017) 29:00 "Big Freedia’s Bounce" (The Nod • Gimlet • Sep 2020) 29:00 "How to Show Up" (The Nod • Gimlet • Jun 2019) 32:00 For Colored Nerds (Eric Eddings and Brittany Luse) 42:00 "Quibi Is Shutting Down Barely Six Months After Going Live" (Benjamin Mullin, Joe Flint, Maureen Farrell • Wall Street Journal • Oct 2020) 44:00 "Why Am I Watching Married At First Sight Instead of Planning My Wedding?" (Harper’s Bazaar • May 2021) 46:00 "The Hard-To-Take But Smart Relationship Advice Beyoncé Has Given Us" (Refinery29 • Apr 2016) 49:00 "The Fiction of the Color Line" (Vulture • Jan 2021) 53:00 "Death of Adulthood" (For Colored Nerds • 2014) Learn more about your ad choices.
