Got my (signed!) copy of this 0n Weds, and I've been reading it all weekend. It's every bit as wonderful as the review here suggests. I doubt there's 100 people in the world with the combination of skills needed to complete a project like this as well as Talbot does.

Past Present Future on the Scopes Money Trial. It's a deep dive which illuminates many aspects of the story I certainly hadn't been aware of. A fascinating episode, and one that's very relevant to our own times.

The Woman in Cabin Ten's opening scene was hilarious. Keira Knightley walks into the Guardian newsroom & is instantly showered with praise by her colleagues ("Great article! You're the best!"). In any real UK newsroom, best she'd get is a bleary-eyed "Alright?" & a a reminder her next column's late.

Good to see Radiolab founder Jad Abumrad back on the podcast beat again. He's the guy behind Dolly Parton's America, of course. Kuti can't match Parton's fame, but he had a fascinating life in music and politics, so this promises to be a great listen.
