AI is incredible. They can teach you how to fry an egg and even write a poem, pirate style.

But it knows nothing about your work. Slackbot is different. It doesn't just know the facts.

It knows your schedule. It can turn a brainstorm into a brief and it doesn't need to be taught.

Because Slackbot isn't just another

AI. It's AI that knows your work as well as you do. Visit Slack.com forward slash meet Slackbot

This is episode 82 and we are recording on May 23rd.

I'm Jen Northington and I'm here with Amanda Nelson and we are coming to you from Book Riot.

Hello. Hello. Welcome. Welcome. Is that your Delilah? Let's talk about the Delilah thing.

Again. No, no. No, no. We took it to the, I'm not crazy. We took it to the Bookerite Insiders, Slack, and asked them if I had just, like, made up Delilah after dark. And I hadn't. A lot of people had heard of her. It wasn't so much that I thought you made it up is that I was unsure how regionally bound she was. But it turns out not at all. Yeah. We just didn't listen to radio, I guess. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know how I missed it, but I did. What are you reading right now, Amanda? Oh, so many things. I did, I like got in the, I started Lonesome Dove. Yes. Which has been on my, I don't. I know, I've like heard such great things about it. I've owned it for no kidding, probably like eight years. And it's gone with me through like tons of moves and I've just never started it because it's huge and a Western. And I'm not a grandpa. However, those are all... You do like dad books though. That's I do. I really do. Winston Churchill is my, you know. But, no, I started, it's great. Like, I don't know why. I think just the thickness is what's put me off of it so far, like this big giant mass market paperback. But I'm really liking it. Well, and Westerns is a genre inherently problematic, like the way they treat, you know, native populations.

So that's...

And women.

Yeah.

Right, exactly.

There's so many potential pitfalls.

I know.

But, yeah, that book.

I read that after I read the passage because Justin Cronin had said he was partially

inspired by it.

And I was like, well, now I need to know about that.

And it is a really well-written book for all of its problems, which it does have.
