Episode notes

Gross: "We seem to have joined be joined by nothing very much except fear and bewilderment about what the future holds" He says in 2003, he didn't have any reason to write an essay called the United States has gone mad. The author wrote a novel in 2019 that I imagine I might have like a tough time getting into where it is like making a lot of explicit derogatory statements about Putin, Trump and Boris Johnson.

The "cold" in this classic spy novel is a metaphor, but it's still a chilling book for a chilly season! If you like double-, triple-, and possible quadruple-crossings and hate happy endings, this is a book that you'll want to bring in from the cold.

Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
