"Tepid regards..." with Joey Held, writer and podcaster

More Than Work

This week’s guest is Joey Held, writer and podcaster.

Joey resides in Austin, TX but just before we chatted had attended the LA Times Festival of books in support of his book “Kind, But Kind of Weird: Short Stories on Life's Relationships”. He even had an encounter with a star of the New Girl who people have said the book reminds them of!

During lockdown, Joey started a newsletter called Crisp Bounce Pass that looks at the intersection of basketball and pop culture. It’s still going. We chat about that, his very first book and also his work at a creative agency. Oh, and he is also in a band.

His podcast, Good People, Cool Things is what you’ll want to tune into after hearing this interview. Come along now and learn about Joey. He might turn your frown upside down!

Note from Rabiah (Host):

This episode was recorded a couple of months ago and ironically I mention the weather is never warm in London. This week we had the biggest heat wave in years! It was a lot of fun talking about communication styles and learning about Joey and his work. I have a feeling that after listening he’s the kind of person you’ll want as a colleague and a friend. See what you think!

PS: there could have been many titles but this statement from Joey makes me laugh over and over again!
