  • Ep 705 - Gilead, by Marilynne Robinson
    Jun 2 2025

    A dying preacher writes a (rather) long letter to his son. Another dying preacher’s son returns home, seeking…something. Salvation? Forgiveness? A balm? Robinson’s novel is a deeply considered portrait of a family of ministers, wrestling with the powers and limitations of their faith and fatherhood.

  • Ep 704 - Cursed Bread, by Sophie Mackintosh
    May 26 2025

    This is another one of those historical books that could have resulted from a Wikipedia dive, this one's arguably based on a real historical event but with a non-real non-historical protagonist .

  • Ep 703 - Play It As It Lays, by Joan Didion
    May 19 2025

    Did you know the towering career of Joan Didion included several novels, many of which were driven by the same acerbic wit and insight that helped to anoint her as an essential voice in the New Journalism movement? Her second novel, Play It As It Lays, traffics in much of the same Hollywood/Los Angeles social destruction that powered her essays, but instead focuses in on the maddening, maddened Maria Wyeth - an actress whose star is waning with the gravitational force of a black hole.

Mch of the time insightful, often hilarious, always entertaining. I can listen for hours a day. Some of the episodes are truly epic and some of them are just silly and fun. The variety of book selections is right up my alley. And I very much appreciate that Craig and Andrew never shy away from naming and exploring problematic themes (racism, sexism, abuse, etc) even in beloved classics and books they love. I've learned a lot listening to Overdue.

My favorite podcast!
