ST - And Then There Were None (1939) Agatha Christie Dec 07, 2023

Show notes

It’s finally time for fiction, for murder, for mystery, for butler’s and brandy…and lots of dead bodies. I put my glasses on for this. Maybe afterwards you can tell me why the candlestick is in the conservatory. Why the hell there’s a noose in the dining room. I’m starting to think this isn’s a dinner party.

ST - Benjamin Franklin (2003) Walter Isaacson Nov 30, 2023

Show notes

The ladies loved Benjamin Franklin. Bet you didn't know that. I guess he didn't always look like the Quaker Oats mascot. He was a man who did more that one life should be able to hold.

Show notes

Okay, we need to talk about Kevin...I mean Seth Godin's short book The Dip, let's talk about the concept of "the dip," and let's talk about how I am a dip who continually let's his fragile ego crap on getting decent work done. Screw Kevin.
