How to Do Everything is a podcast produced by NPR and hosted by Mike Danforth and Ian Chillag. The show ran from 2011 to 2016 before returning in late 2024.
Overview
[edit]The first episode was released in February 2011. The podcast was hosted by Mike Danforth and Ian Chillag, both producers for the NPR show Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!.[1][2] The podcast was well received upon release and was awarded Best Podcast in 2013 by Chicago Magazine.[3][4]
The premise of the show is to explain how (typically unusual) things are done. Each show features a guest who is a supposed expert on the episode's topic.[5] Many notable guests have made an appearance, including Sonia Sotomayor and Henry Winkler.[6] Episodes were released every Friday until production ended, and the final episode was released in November 2016.[1] The podcast was revived by NPR in 2024, still featuring Danforth and Chillag as hosts. The podcast's return reportedly features a combination of rereleased and new episodes.[7]
