Hello, welcome to the vast majority. I'm Jacobin managing editor Micah Eutricht.

Now, this is the first podcast I've recorded since Jacobin Staff writer Megan Day and I turned in our first draft of our book on Bernie Sanders

and the Rising Socialist Movement in America, which is tentatively titled Bigger than Bernie,

and set to be released by Verso Books in early 2020.

Now if words pour out of you like water as they seem to do for Megan writing a book is is no big deal, but for people like me,

it was absolute agony.

It was an emotional roller coaster.

Please compensate me for my emotional labor of wildly oscillating feelings of personal inferiority and self-loathing,

but then like, oh, am I actually a genius?

And then like repeating the whole process over again,

please compensate me for that process by buying the book

when it comes out.

You will hear more updates on the book

and how to make that purchase when it is available

on this podcast in the months to come.
