Fight Club | E2: 34 or 35 Drunk Santas

There would be no Fight Club without Chuck Pahlaniuk, the diesel mechanic turned novelist who dreamed up the concept during a shift on the assembly line. In this episode we’re diving into the wild life of Fight Club’s author and the people, places and experiences that shaped his most famous creation, from his traumatic childhood to culture-jamming shenanigans in ‘90s Portland.TRANSCRIPT: HERECREDITS: Host, Writer: Alex PappademasShowrunner: Colin McNultyProducers: Sabrina Fang and Taylor JonesProduction Assistant and Fact Checker: Stella HartmanComposer, Sound Designer, Mix Engineer: Alex MacInnisStudio Direction and Theme Music: Dan LeoneExecutive Producer for Western Sound: Ben AdairEditor: Jamie YorkExecutive Producers for Higher Ground: Dan Fierman, Anna Holmes, Mukta Mohan, Janae MarableEditorial Assistant for Higher Ground: Jenna LevinExecutive Producers for Spotify: Daniel Ek, Dawn Ostroff, Julie McNamara, Corinne GilliardSpecial Thanks: Joe Paulsen and Eric Spiegelman Archival tape provided by: The Tim Ferriss Show and Armchair ExpertThis episode includes discussion of suicide.
