Eat any good books lately?

First one is best one. A bunch of the Goodreads reviews complain that it's nothing but a left-wing screed against Trump. There's a single paragraph that could be construed that way in the single chapter about The Apprentice and it really only says that stuff like January 6th would have never happened without The Apprentice convincing some people Trump is a business titan.

Luka book is hilarious in that it came out in March and talks a lot about how committed Dallas is to him. Oops.

NPR book's most interesting stuff is probably at the start, PBS almost eliminated radio from the bill creating both PBS and NPR but they discovered it at the last moment and literally taped the words "and radio" back into the bill. There's a strange final chapter about Ira Glass, strange because This American Life is not produced by NPR and Glass hasn't worked for NPR since the 80s or something. And strange even contextually because it's just a random ass chapter and then the book ends despite the fact that the previous chapter hadn't finished the story of NPR past it getting a website and podcasts.
