Ladies and gentlemen, can I please have your attention.

Can you digger?

Ladies for listeners, this is Jonah Goldberg, host of the Remnant podcast, brought to you by the Dispatch

and Dispatch Media.

As advertised, promised, prophesied in ancient scrolls found at the bottom of the hellmouth.

Sarah Isger is back to do the much awaited, much feared, much anticipated, much,ness, AMA,

which stands for Ask Me Anything, not the American Medical Association, which would be weird for us to do.

Sarah, welcome by Sarah Puba over at Skotis blog, host of the advisory opinions podcast, frequent guest on ABCs this week because she's a contributor person over there.

And that's about all I got. Is there anything else you want me to plug?

No, but I'm now pretty confused because I was prepared to do an hour on the American Medical Association of my thoughts on sort of evolutionary biology, red queen theory, you know, all of that.

I just finished everything is tuberculosis by John Green.

You know what I just, I'm almost finished because I've done so much driving lately.

I got on audio.

Bill Bryson's A History of Almost Everything.

My top, absolutely, it's not only in my top 10, it's usually my number one book.

So I really enjoy it.

I mean, I'm down to like the last two chapters

or something like that. But I mentioned it to Steve last week, Steve Hayes. He said,

Bryson's maybe his favorite author and he hated that book. And I was like, huh. Yeah, but this is the

problem with Steve. He likes the old school travel Bryson. I like new school one summer home and obviously a short

history of nearly everything is like the apotheosis of that brison so um and i read all the travel

books but i like i'm not a travel book person so like his writing is his writing is still charming, but I like history and weird facts. So, like, you couldn't come up with a better book or series of books. Yeah, no, there's a lot of excellent. I mean, it's a little outdated now. Like, he kept talking about maybe the Higgs-Boson doesn't even exist, and now we know it does. You know, but, like, I learned a lot. I can't remember all the top of my head right now, but there are a lot of things I learned that will be, like I often will say things to people. Like recently I was talking to a mutual friend about, and there's no reason to name him here, what city has the most strip clubs? And I said immediately, well, it used to be Portland, Oregon.
