The inimitable Ben Tanzer, founder and CEO of the This Blog Will Change Your Life media empire, invited me to join him in conversation last week for a podcast that will—yes!—CHANGE YOUR LIFE. We talked about my day job at Booklist, about breaking into the publishing business, about my books, and, as you would expect, Billiards Digest, John Green, and Marky Ramone. The acoustics are lo-fi (my office is not Symphony Hall) but listen in, and you'll feel like you were right there with us.

And check out Ben's books, too!
