    From "O Brother, Where Art Thou" to "Watchmen" to "Poker Face,” Tim Blake Nelson is the actor you call when you want a character’s face to tell a lifetime of stories. But Nelson’s storytelling isn't limited to acting; lately, he's turned to writing novels, including his latest book, “Superhero: A Novel.” He talks to Rachel about his delinquent childhood in Tulsa and the dangers of prioritizing the present.

Listening to celebrities taking themselves way too seriously. New agey, wishy washy host Rachel Martin should have stuck to news. It's like the worst of NPR fake speech on steroids. And I generally like NPR. Yuck!
