Dave is off doing something (no one is really sure where he goes), but we've got a special guest! Jennifer Brogdon steps in to replace him talk different kinds of humor, teaching international students, and a book she read the day before recording this episode. Listen in as we discuss:

• Male vs female humor
• How Jen's passion for dentistry led her to be a writer
• Which Leif Enger book you should read first
• How we best use our reading time
• How reading plays a part in teaching international students
• A new definition of procrastination
• Jen's initial thoughts on Beartown

A few of the books referenced this week:

Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens

The Complete Short Stories by Flannery O’Connor 

Beartown by Fredrik Backman

Commonwealth by Anne Patchett
