Customer Reviews
Quick and Interesting
A nice, short spoken word version of the book of the same name, narrated by the author. His take is well worth listening to, even if you don’t agree with everything he says.
Not good at all
What a horrible podcast, total waste of time listening to this.
I couldn’t make it through the first episode
Raises fair & interesting points
does Jon Ronson play Elliot Loudermilk in Scrooged?
It’s a fine listen, good stories well told, yadda yadda; I like it when authors voice their own audiobooks. though it really made me thirsty for a Jon Ronson VS Jonah Lehrer cage match. lol can you imagine? those nerds fighting no gloves no holds barred? 👄 💦 🤮
