Quantum Leap for Grown-Ups with Darren Grodsky

This week, Mandy sits down with Darren Grodsky, a writer, director, and the mastermind behind the smash-hit podcast “How to Destroy Everything.”

Mandy and Darren take a timey-wimey trip through “Quantum Leap,” the iconic ’80s and ’90s sci-fi series that captured Darren’s imagination as a young boy. Together, they explore the show’s genius use of time travel as a vehicle for powerful, emotional storytelling. Darren even admits publicly to choosing “Quantum Leap” over talking to his girlfriend. He really said that. He said it on a podcast. As the conversation unfolds, Mandy and Darren dissect the unforgettable characters, the science behind the quantum leaps, and the show’s uncanny ability to tackle important social issues.
