The Books We Read

Book Discussion of "Thirst" and "Hillbilly Elegy"


Listen Later

Jaran and Reagan talk about books they've been reading. Jaran read "Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis" by J. D. Vance (he read it a long time ago but is only now talking about it), and Reagan read "Thirst: A Story of Redemption, Compassion, and a Mission to Bring Clean Water to the World" by Scott Harrison. Basically, from this podcast, you'll learn that we admire ethically-operated organizations that serve people and that our upward mobility hasn't yet brought us to the point of knowing how to pronounce the names of expensive beverages.


Erratum: Jaran said that Vance grew up in Kentucky. He actually grew up in Ohio.
