Latch·key kid: You're at home left to your own devices without any adult supervision. Maybe you're eating dry cereal out of the box with your raw, sanitized mitts, watching nonstop tv, and constantly communicating via the internet, too — just like in middle school.
Each week-ish, I'll invite my fellow latchkey friends — from writers and artists to activists and entrepreneurs — on for a chat, and then politely demand they perform a dramatic reading of their favorite television theme song.
My pal Tim Long joins Latchkey Kids for one solid hour of delightful conversation, song, and more. That's right, AND MORE. He's the longtime writer/producer of the Simpsons, former head writer at The Late Show with David Letterman, screenwriter of the upcoming film The Exchange, and man about town. Listen to Tim (and his kitty Sophie) talk writer's room diversity, his career longevity working on on an iconic show, karaoke songs and lots more.

Emily Flake
“The hustle changes shape, I don’t think it ever really ends,” Emily Flake, this week's guest, drops gems during our chat while wearing a llama onesie.
Writer, illustrator, cartoonist for The New Yorker among many others, author of "Mama Tried," "That Was Awkward: The Art & Etiquette of the Awkward Hug," and founder of St. Nell's Abbey, a humor writing residency for women — what can't she do?
Hear how she transitioned from full-time to freelance, making it NYC over Chicago, how she came to create her own writer's residency, hating Alexa and the finer points of high-end baby strollers.
Visit emilyflake.com (emilyflake.com) for links to buy her books, see her comics, view performances (when performances were a thing), and generally revel in the all-around wonder that is Emily Flake.
Back her Kickstarter: St. Nell’s Abbey, a humor writing residency for womxnfolk (kickstarter.com/projects/stnellsabbey/st-nells-humor-writing-residency-for-ladies)
