How do you turn a podcast into a book?

The WTF host Mark Marin will be here to talk about his new book, Waiting for the Punch.

To what extent can the Soviet Union's terrible history be attributed to a single man?

Victor Sebastian will join us to talk about his new biography, Lenin, The Man, The Dictator,

and The Master of Terror.

Alexander Alder will give us an update from the literary world.

Plus, we'll talk about what we and the wider world are reading.

This is Inside the Nairtemps book review.

I'm Pamela Paul.

Mark Marin joins us now.

He is the author of Waiting for the Punch, which is a new book that is words to live by

from the WTF podcast.

And he co-wrote it with his producer, Brendan McDonald.

Mark, thanks for being here.

Nice to be here. Thanks for having me.

So I feel like you have a podcast.

You turn it into a book, and now you're on a book podcast.

It's like the circle of life or something.

I know.

I hope something bad doesn't happen.

We've inverted ourselves somehow.

What's it like for you going on other people's podcasts, talking about your podcast and your book?
