Summary

This week, it’s our annual “Bookmarks” episode.

We read a lot of books to research this show, and often we stumble on great stories that don’t fit our regular episodes.

So we save them up for this show.

We’ll talk about a new book on SNL producer Lorne Michaels, we’ll take a few notes from a famous songwriter, and we’ll talk about a Bible with a wicked typo.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
