    HTDE: Study Break with Jason Isaacs of "The White Lotus"
    Apr 10 2025
    The White Lotus season finale dropped this weekend, and we have questions. And trauma. Maybe you do too? This week, How To Do Everything's "study break" is hosting acclaimed actor Jason Isaacs AKA acclaimed Lorazepam addict Timothy Ratliff.

    How to join: save this Google document. At 12:30 PM ET tomorrow April 11th, we'll drop a Zoom link. The first 10 people to click on it will be in a Zoom call with Mike, Ian, Heena and Timothy Ratliff/Lucius Malfoy/Jason Isaacs.

    That gives you tonight to catch up on the show. We WILL discuss spoilers. So come studied and with questions!

    In the meantime, please send us your "how to" questions! From "how do you parallel park?" to "how do you escape quicksand?" no question is too boring, outlandish or unusual. We can't make the show without you, so don't be shy! Email us at howto@npr.org.
