    Obscure with Michael Ian Black

    It’s a book club, but funny!

    Comedian Michael Ian Black is tackling a great work of literature: Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.

    Join Michael’s weekly book club as he reads aloud from a classic and asks people like Jen Kirkman, Mike Birbiglia, Michael Showalter, and even his teenage kids to weigh in with their perspectives. 

    Season 1: Thomas Hardy’s Jude the Obscure. The book is bleak, but Michael does a lot of accent work.

    Season 2: Frankenstein. It’s alive, and it’s just a big buddy. Also, more accent work.
