Wouldn't it be swell if somebody smart read every word of the The New Yorker and told you which stories to read and which ones you could "skip without guilt"? Well, Sam Saper does exactly that with his Substack "Last Week's New Yorker Review." He joins Bradley to explain what it takes to pass judgement on the best longform journalists in the business.

This episode was taped at P&T Knitwear at 180 Orchard Street — New York City’s only free podcast recording studio.
