Show Notes for Episode 9 of the Yale Press Podcast

Posted by Chris Gondek, Producer/Host of the Yale Press Podcast.

I can't deny that my heartbeat quickened when I heard the theme music to the show again. I was putting together the main show, and when I put in the opening theme and started the fade, I felt very happy. Two months is far too long between shows. I go through withdrawl.

You'd be hard pressed to find a book that is as timely as Trita Parsi's Treacherous Alliance, a book that everyone who wants a sense of what is really going on between Israel and Iran should pick up and read. Then, once the adrenaline has subsided, the essays in Tight Lines are music to the ear of any angler. I know that I'll be picking up a copy to send to a college roommate of mine who is a devoted fly fisherman. When you look at all he has accomplished, James Prosek could very well be the coolest angler on the planet.
