Marc Smirnoff interviews David Remnick (editor of The New Yorker) for almost two hours. It’s worth watching, and I’m proud to have sat through it in person. 

Remnick talks about writing Obama’s biography and one of his greatest failures in writing, which involved him being ridiculed for using the phrase “hips akimbo.” 

Also, David Remnick kinda looks like Mike D from the Beastie Boys.
