Episode 203: The (belated) 2016 Gift Guide

For their last episode of 2016, Josh and Dietrich explore some of the books that should find their way under Christmas trees, into stockings, and onto anyone's wish list. Dietrich talks about a science fiction series combining humor with intriguing ideas, an exploration of journalistic ethics that seems awfully applicable in 2016, a noir novel that leaves the city behind for the Appalachian mountains, and more. Josh helps you find the next addiction for the Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, Walking Dead, Westworld, or Lovecraft fan in your life. In addition, Josh discusses a book with a terrifyingly effective serial killer hook, Dietrich raves about his Christmas gift from his co-host, and they both remember the great Terry Pratchett's brilliant take on Christmas. Finally, Josh embraces his inner liberal middle-aged white dude by raving about two different Lin-Manuel Miranda projects, and Dietrich makes really sure that everyone knows about Star Wars and that time a dude landed a plane in the river.
