Episode 015: Paul F. Tompkins & Susan Orleans

==Description==
Susan Orlean is a staff writer for the New Yorker and the author of books like The Orchid Thief. (not the Orchard Thief)
Paul F. Tompkins is a comedian whose voice you’ll recognize as the character Mr. Peanutbutter on Bojack Horseman.
In this episode, we learn about why Paul can’t stop spoiling upcoming episodes of Bojack Horseman for his wife, and why he should be considered the king of coining new catchphrases. And we’ll also learn which animals in Susan’s life have been named after characters from Bojack (hint: not horses), and why it’s important to learn the title of an author’s book before interviewing her in a public forum. Plus, Susan explains more about her upcoming book and Paul discusses what makes him love podcasting so much.

===What's the Difference?===
Lost and Found
====Labyrinth vs Maze====
A labyrinth has only one path so no matter how much the path twists and turns, you can't get lost if you keep moving forward. You usually work towards the middle and then out again. There is only one entrance and one exit, so it is unicursal. 
A maze is multicursal, meaning there are many possible paths and branches, but they could lead to dead ends or back to the start, and there may be more than one entrance or exit. 
====Distinguish vs Discern====
*from listener Scott J. Langton (spelling?) of Alhambra CA
To discern is to detect, recognize, or identify (usually but not always with the eyes). 
To distinguish is to recognize the difference between 2 or more things
