Root for the Dummy
Manage episode 220275773 series 2355375
On The Gist, the Republican tax bill and insurance premiums.
In the interview: a third-century monk, Paul Revere’s horse, and Death himself … all are characters in humorist Simon Rich’s latest book, Hits and Misses: Stories—and none are in on the joke. “I always related to the characters like Homer Simpson that knew less than they should,” Rich says. “As a child those are the ones that I found more sympathetic and more rootable.”
In the Spiel, the unemployment numbers, and the lies we’ve told ourselves about the economy.
