EP7: Behind the scenes with Big Papi and Pedro, plus ski culture, Jennifer Egan, and the torture of "A Little Life"
Following up on the big Nor'easter, Sam and Hannah chat about "Powder Days," a new look at the future of ski culture, then talk about Hannah's exploits with newly minted Hall of Famer Big Papi, who's cool, but not as cool as Pedro. After that, we hit Jennifer Egan (her first book is actually called "A Visit from the Goon Squad" not "Welcome to the Goon Squad"), "The Last White Man" and comma usage, how Hanya Yanagihara has pushed the boundaries of just how miserable you can make your fictional characters, and much, much more. Also, we looked it up and Mozart lived in the 1700s, which we totally knew. Oh, and Heather Hansman edited "Powder" and "Skiing," but not "Ski." Oh well. Something like 21 books discussed, in all. Whew!
