Thompson Waite is an Australian-raised, NYC-based actor/writer/comedian/podcaster who enjoys making lists. In each episode of Thompson's Top Five he orders and analyzes his favorite books, movies, counterculture icons, comedians, fictional characters, viral videos, bands, internet memes, rock'n'roll records, writers and TV shows in order to gain a deeper understanding of his cultural coordinates. This process involves Thompson probing into his own psyche, a weird place where half-baked philosophies and phantom neuroses thrive like yeast on a warm Petri dish. By interviewing others Thompson strives to learn about the specifics that comprise the individual. Thompson's Top Five is a podcast for existentially-compulsive dilettantes interested in the minutiae of modern life. It is also an excuse for a moron to talk into a microphone for half an hour every week.
