You may know him as the unforgettable Duckie from "Pretty in Pink" or as the hilariously neurotic Alan Harper on Two and a Half Men—a role that earned him two Primetime Emmy Awards. But in this episode, Jon Cryer reveals there’s much more behind the iconic performances.

We dive into Jon’s process of stepping into characters, the emotional and psychological shifts that fuel his roles, and the unexpected journey he’s taken through the world of podcasting. As the producer of "The Man Who Calculated Death," Jon shares how the audio medium has rekindled his passion for storytelling in a whole new way.

And if you didn’t know—Jon is a massive fan of the space program. From NASA to sci-fi, we explore his fascination with the stars and how it’s shaped his worldview.
