This week, Josh and Dietrich are thrilled to bring you the first of what they're calling the Playlist B-Sides, a series of playlists built with the actual subject of the playlist! For our first interview, we're joined by the exceptional and hysterical author Mary Roach. In a writing career that's seen her mugged by monkeys, pestering special forces soldiers about diarrhea, and watching people hump inside an MRI machine for science, Mary's writing has spanned six New York Times bestselling books, ranging from how we handle corpses to how we poop in space. Today, you can hear her talk about her new book Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law, dealing with stubborn government officials, scandalizing her agent, and eagerly venturing forth to find a macaque to mug her, all while providing a unique look at some of the work that has inspired her remarkable career.
