Hey guys! This week I'm trying something brand new on the podcast. I created an "audiobook" edition of some of my favorite hedge fund letters. This week, I read the Q4 letters from the following funds:  Greenhaven Road Capital Laughing Water Capital  Greenlight Capital There is one other podcast that does this (Capital Literature), but I thought having a more human voice would make it easier to listen to, hopefully you agree.  Also, I thought now would be a great time to try this as I'm traveling to FL for my bachelor party. I look forward to resuming the usual person-to-person interview style you've come to appreciate on the podcast.  Finally, a big thanks to the following sponsors for making the podcast a reality.
