As a fan of the podcast, I really wanted to check this book out. If you've never listened to the podcast, then this is a great book full of short but very interesting stories that you can read all at once or take a little at a time to make it last. If you are a fan of the podcast then you probably don't need to read the book at all as the stories included, or at least a lot of them, are ones you've already heard before. It wasn't bad to revisit them, do don't avoid it if you've already listened to the podcast but I wouldn't come expecting something new. (I'll note that my memory isn't great so it could be that there are new stories mixed in but I recognized too many of them.) I also expect this will be fixed for the final product but in my advance version, the story 'Wild Coincidences' was a blank page... there was no story.
