We’re in the NY Times, thanks to @MollyYoung, who points out that Chris Lydon can “talk about anything. Anything! Sometimes I try to think up topics that might stump him and then inevitably find an episode on that exact topic lurking in the archives.”

So great to speak with Chris Lydon & @radioopensource about Henry George, neoliberalism, and much else besides. Chris had clearly read the whole book--no small feat-- and I felt like his questions really got to the heart of it. Please give it a listen.

GODWIN by @JosephONeillx is by some distance my favourite novel of this year. It reminded me of the novels of @helendewitt – a comedy that is both seriously funny and deadly serious. As a football novel it's terrific, but even better is the story of a technical writing collective

[Joseph O'Neill @JosephONeillx]
