This is an IHeart podcast.

Michael Lewis here.

My bestselling book, The Big Short, tells the story of the buildup and burst of the U.S.

housing market back in 2008.

A decade ago, the Big Short was made into an Academy Award-winning movie.

Now I'm bringing it to you for the first time as an

audiobook narrated by yours truly. The Big Short Story, what it means to bet against the market,

and who really pays for an unchecked financial system, is as relevant today as it's ever been.

Get the Big Short now at Pushkin.fm slash audio books or wherever audio books are sold.

Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.

From prologue projects and Pushkin Industries, this is Fiasco, Benghazi.

What difference at this point does it make?

Listen to Fiasco, Benghazi, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Music Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. I started to realize that not being an expert isn't a liability.

If we don't know something about ourselves at this point in our life,

it's probably because it's uncomfortable to know.

If you can die before you die, then you can really live.

There's a wisdom at death's door.

I thought I was insane. Yeah.
