30 mins Jeff Sharlet is a journalist and bestselling author or editor of seven books, including The Family, the basis for a 2019 Netflix documentary series, The Family, of which he is executive producer. His most recent book, combining image and text, is This Brilliant Darkness: A Book of Strangers. "Gorgeous," says The New York Times, "[t]he book ingeniously reminds us that all of our lives — our struggles, desires, grief — happen concurrently with everyone else’s, and this awareness helps dissolve the boundaries between us." Sharlet's other books include Sweet Heaven When I Die, C Street, and, with Peter Manseau, Killing the Buddha, and two edited volumes, Radiant Truths, and (with Manseau) Believer, Beware. His writing on Russia's anti-LGBTQ crusade earned the National Magazine Award for Reporting, and his writing on anti-LGBT campaigns in Uganda earned the Molly Ivins Prize and the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission's Outspoken Award, among others. He has also been the recipient of numerous fellowships from the MacDowell Colony. Sharlet is an editor-at-large for VQR, a contributing editor for Harper’s and Rolling Stone, and a contributor to publications including The New York Times Magazine, Vanity Fair, GQ, Esquire, Mother Jones, Bookforum, and others. At Dartmouth College, he is the publisher of 40 Towns and a member of the Society of Fellows.

| 0:20.0 | It begins at 30 minutes into today's show if you want to skip ahead, but I've got a great news update for you and this is the third day in a row where I've also done a video version of the news and I posted that on all the social |

| 0:38.6 | Instagram and all the rest and watch the video version. |
| 0:41.6 | Hoping it drives traffic to the podcast. |
| 0:43.8 | We'll see, it's an experiment for this week, it's not really much more work than doing a new segment |
| 0:48.6 | anyway, and that is coming up in a second. I also was a little pathetic yesterday and begged people to email me and so a bunch of you did especially those of you that listen all the way to the end of the show who get a special nickname but you don't know what it is if you're not one of them but |
| 1:04.1 | Barrett who's been listening to the show for a really long time emailed me from |

| 1:20.5 | I followed you and others from Serious XM, |
| 1:22.1 | but you, Jason Alice, and Mike Tully are the three that I have stuck with through thick and thin. |
| 1:27.0 | Sorry I don't usually make the hangouts, but Thursday's trivia night at the White House pub in Windemere, British Columbia. |
| 1:33.0 | My choice is between being the stupidest person at the hangout, |
