Questions we wrestle with in this episode (and this clip):

How is Jonathan Goldstein the narrator different from Jonathan Goldstein the person? And how has he evolved over the years?

One of my favorite parts of this episode is when Britta and I discuss the moment Nancy Updike confesses, out of nowhere, how much she misses smoking.

Now that this episode is on their main feed, I’m sharing this clip again. The true test of rapport between podcast hosts is whether they remain entertaining (or become even more entertaining) in the midst of a diversion.

The most important takeaway from this second Lab Leak episode of @ifbookspod.bsky.social Mile High Club.

(Incidentally, is there a better bonus feed than the Mile High Club? I love that their bonus content is merely applying their sensibility to things other than books.)

I love it when the Slate Culture Gabfest talks about weird cultural moments, like this one about the Blue Origin publicity stunt. Especially the moment when Steve informs @juliaturner.bsky.social that the Blue Origin rocket isn’t the only phallic design connected to Jeff Bezos.

The lab leak bonus episode of @ifbookspod.bsky.social is worth a listen in the wake of the CIA news. And then there’s @notalawyer.bsky.social’s detailed explanation of how covid actually leaked from the lab.

not sure why, but I love this self subtweeting
