Designer Jonathan Adler, memoirist Simon Doonan, Broadway composer Lin-Manuel Miranda and author Neil Gaiman are the first guests slated to appear. Each will pitch an idea and work with the Morning Edition team to make it happen.

Adler will air on June 18, along with his husband Doonan, to discuss their fathers and the way their relationship with their fathers affected their gay lifestyle and their differences in growing up in an accepting vs. non-accepting household.
