Unsolicited Book Reviews Michael MacBride

Shannon Gibney, Richard Campanella, Audible, Daniel J Levitin, and Sami Adwan, Dan Bar-On, Eyal Naveh, and Peace Research Institute in the Middle East walk into a bar... and I review their books: The Girl I Am, Was, and Never Will Be; Draining New Orleans; Side By Side: Parallel Histories of Israel-Palestine; Words and Music Series; and The World in Six Songs.

What can you expect? Quick unsolicited book reviews of whatever Michael David MacBride is reading and has enjoyed recently. Typically 3-5 minutes per review, and typically 3-5 reviews per episode.
