0:00.0 | Hello, welcome to the Longform Podcast. I'm Max Linsky. I'm here with just one co-host, Aaron Lammer. How are you, sir? |
0:16.0 | I'm good. I'm excited about the episode that we have coming here for a preview for the listeners. |
0:23.0 | Very rare that I try to steal a galley for a book before it comes out from you. This is in the rarefied air of books that I wish had been delivered to me. |
0:34.0 | And I still request that you deliver this book to me. Who is the author of said book? |
0:40.0 | Well, speaking of rarefied air, my guest this week is David Gran, who is joining the rarefied air of the four-timer club on the Longform Podcast. |
0:50.0 | This is his fourth time, and he is back because, as you mentioned, he's got a new book. It's called The Wager, a tale of shipwreck, mutiny, and murder. |
1:00.0 | It is, Aaron, you're not going to believe this is a pretty good story. |

1:35.0 | It is incredibly fun and also devastating to read, and it was only incredibly fun to talk to him, not at all, devastating. |
1:43.0 | I'm not going to ask any more questions because I don't want to spoil or alert it, and you haven't given me the book yet. |
1:50.0 | So I look forward to listening to this interview after I acquired that galley from you and power through this thing. |
1:57.0 | Well, you don't have to ask me about this, but I will say one thing. |
1:59.0 | There's something really enjoyable about having someone on this many times. |
2:04.0 | So, Gran was the first interview I ever did for the show. |
2:08.0 | He came back on to talk about his book Killers of the Flower Moon. |
2:12.0 | Killers of the Flower Moon is about to come out as a miniseries also. |
2:16.0 | It's coming out as a movie directed by Martin Scorsese starring Leonardo DiCaprio. |
2:20.0 | The wager has already been bought by Martin Scorsese for a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio. |
2:27.0 | So basically, David Gran DiCaprio and Scorsese, they're like a super team. |
