Whoops! We skipped a month. Consider it our summer vacation. But we’ve got a big one this episode.
Here’s the deal: if there is one book you should read this year it’s Brian Goldstone’s “There Is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America” The book is an incredible work of journalism as it “…follows five families in Atlanta as they struggle to find stable housing while navigating low-wage work, predatory landlords, a lack of tenant protections, and a system that prioritizes profit over people's basic need for a home.” We’re honored to have Brian on the pod with us to talk about his experience writing such an emotionally taxing work.
But first: James Joyce’s love for farts.
