"I really enjoyed being in this book, but I really wish I could just like upload my thoughts on it to you instead of having to say them because it's not going to be easy," he says.

It only took 500-or-so episodes to revisit the world of Egan's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel A Visit from the Goon Squad. We did, of course, have to wait for Egan to write her sequel (sort of) novel.

Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
