In July 2014, Brett interviewed John Roderick about how he became a professional musician. The conversation evolved into a compelling, serialized narrative that couldn't be contained in not just one, nor two, nor even three episodes. We present the resulting four-part epic uninterrupted, with the exception of brief transitions from one chapter to the next. Think of The Origin of John Roderick as an improvisational book on tape, with each chapter recorded a few weeks apart. The end of the year can be a strange, cold, and lonely time. We hope this keeps your brain warm until 2015.

Lex Friedman joins Brett for the relaunch of Systematic on ESN. Electric car envy, podcasting, and 3 top picks (times two, of course), all in the 30-minute format we decided to try out.
