So I talked to the Internet's Resident Dad, Mandy Patinkin, who of course wanted to arrange the interview himself and left me a voicemail that started "Hello Rachel, this is Mandy Patinkin calling." https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-new-yorker-interview/mandy-patinkin-is-still-singing

also if you're wondering....rachel, did you ask him about how much of his butt is in yentl? of course i did.

also in dad vibes that did not make it into the final edit, during the interview he had to send his son a text from across the house to stop using the wifi, and he did it using siri voice typing, and signed it "love, dad"...from across the house. gold medal at the dad olympics

also...the photo shoot! prominently featuring becky the dog!

lastly, mandy, who studied at juilliard at the same time as robin williams, had such lovely things to say about his former classmate. robin was the guy who would stick around to watch everyone else perform and cheer them on. a generous, gregarious soul.
