“I am biased: I’ve loved every Michael Lewis book I’ve picked up since Liars’ Poker. I’ve been bewitched watching his interviews on Newshour or listening to his reporting on this American Life.
What this podcast is: A Michael Lewis look at the author’s identified change in American attitude towards fairness and the people in charge of its enforcement. The series launches with a look at NBA reffing as an analogy for ideas to come.
Criticisms:
“sports talk” (?) - Michael Lewis himself offers that he is a little less than a casual fan of the NBA and very little of the content is about basketball. Please dear listeners use your meta-analytical skills and extrapolate!
“Language” - this is likely fair; there should probably be an explicit flag. Yet he’s no sailor and maybe one or two explicit words will he dropped. Still, Michael Lewis is Michael Lewis and not really a writer/reporter/podcaster for kids.
“Elizabeth Warren”? - She’s literally brought in to talk about the CFPB!! An organization she helped found...
Summary: People are dumb, this podcast is good.”
