Two Month Review

TMR 24.4: "How Unreal All This Is!" [Confidence-Man]


Listen Later

Opening with a couple of rants, this week's podcast is spicy and also tries to make sense of a few of the more perplexing parts of the book. There's a wonderful interlude in this section from the narrator themselves, and, apparently, nine jokes? And a magic trick involving coins. You'll have to listen to understand.

And here's the "Grifters Gonna Grift" t-shirt mentioned in this episode.

This week's music is "Jealousy" by Phantogram.

Next episode will cover all of of The Confidence-Man. You can find the full reading schedule here.

You can find all previous seasons of TMR on our YouTube channel and on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, etc. Please rate and review! It helps more than you know.
