Nick Offerman
Season 4 Episode 6
Actor, humorist and author Nick Offerman sits down with Josie and Robin this week to talk about his new woodworking book ‘Good Clean Fun’ which is out now. But they also find time to get into the joys of fish and chips in Margate, the work of George Saunders, Daniel Clowse and Jon Ronson and why some people are disappointed to find out Nick’s and Ron Swanson’s politics aren’t exactly similar.
And don’t forget, we’re on tour across Aus and NZ soon, with a whole heap of special guests. Details at cosmicshambleslive.com
