124: Reading Snapshot

In This Episode:

It’s time for the guys’ accidentally-annual “let’s just talk about what we’re reading!” episode — which is, you know, moderately but distinctly different from all the other episodes. They catch up on big life changes, on the pleasures of reading long and re-reading, and celebrate a milestone: the show’s fifth birthday. Plus, a party invite!
