0:00.0	Welcome to Jam Session. I'm Juliet Litman.
0:12.1	I'm Amanda Dobbins.
0:13.7	We're a day late. And that's because we recorded this podcast in person on Monday.
0:19.0	And we had technical difficulties.
0:20.5	I feel we need to acknowledge it so that we're not just saying, we're not acting because
0:25.9	we're podcasters.
0:26.6	We're not actors.
0:27.7	Yeah.
0:28.1	This is the rejam session, but we're same topics.
0:32.5	Same topics.
0:33.3	Some new ones.
0:34.1	With some new information.
0:35.9	Yep.

1:29.4	Here's one of my take. The corrections. Not good.
1:32.7	Haven't reread it since 2001.
1:36.7	You know what? I take that back. I was thinking of a Jonathan Leitham book, not a Jonathan Franzen book.
1:42.0	Okay. All right. I thought. I was kind of like,
1:44.7	I thought you were pro Franzen. I am pro Franzen. I wouldn't like to hang out with him, but I am pro Franzen.
