Nick Offerman on the art of satisfaction, being ‘terrified’ of love, and his brand as a carnivore : Wild Card with Rachel Martin
A note from Wild Card host Rachel Martin: There’s something about Nick Offerman that makes him feel like he’s from another time. Maybe it’s his deep affection for woodworking and penchant for flannel shirts. Or his impressive vocabulary and love of the naturalist writer Wendell Berry.
Nick got famous as Ron Swanson in “Parks and Recreation” but won an Emmy for his role as a survivalist in the HBO show “The Last of Us.” In his acceptance speech he used words like “decency” and “fidelity,” which sometimes feel like values of a bygone era.
Nick Offerman is also a writer and his latest book is a how-to on woodworking for parents and kids called “Little Woodchucks: Offerman Woodshop’s Guide to Tools and Tomfoolery.”
