About this episode

What does the director of such macabre television shows as “Dahmer” and “American Horror Story” have in common with the queen of domesticity? Turns out, quite a bit. In this week’s episode, Martha interviews Ryan Murphy, the prolific storyteller who has dominated American television with hits including “Glee,” and “Nip/Tuck” and many, many more. While their binge-watching tastes might diverge, they share similar passions for creativity, exploring history, and a beautiful garden. These two have a lot to dish about – tune in to listen.
