(HOLLYWOOD, Calif. / July 11, 2025) — Author Jordan Harper joins host Matt Slayer for a fascinating and wide-ranging conversation on the new episode of the iconic And Now We Drink podcast.
And Now We Drink is like “the conversation at the end of the bar” featuring your favorite writers, comedians, adult film stars, artists, musicians and actors. No topic is off-limits as Slayer and his guests delve into their personal experiences, sharing stories and their unique perspectives on sex, relationships, and life.
In the lively episode 414 of And Now We Drink, host Slayer sits down with acclaimed author (and occasional TV Writer) Jordan Harper for an engrossing conversation that runs the gamut from the surreal nature of self-perception to the vagaries of the modern entertainment industry. As they explore the oddities of seeing oneself in mirrors versus cameras, Matt and Jordan delve deep into the philosophical musings about reality and perception, inevitably segueing into discussions about the pains and aches that come with getting older.
The duo doesn’t shy away from critiquing the current state of capitalism and how it informs societal elements like the postal service and road systems. The conversation then shifts to Hollywood and the entertainment world, where Harper, a seasoned veteran of TV writing and book authorship, shares stories from his years in the business, the challenges of staying authentic in an industry driven by profit, and the personal journey of embracing his identity as primarily an author.
Matt and Jordan also touch upon cultural matters, such as the implications of the commodification of art and the impact of platforms like Netflix on television’s golden age. They reflect on the cultural shifts in reading habits, the true value of hard-earned achievements versus inherited wealth, and the lasting impact of novels and shows like “Heat.”
Filled with anecdotes, intellectual tangents, and candid reflections, this episode serves as both an exploration of Harper’s fascinating career and a broader critique of societal norms, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersections of art, culture, and commerce.
“I do a lot of podcasts, but there’s not another one that feels as free and wild as And Now We Drink,” Harper shared. “I always have a hell of a good time.”
