Rebecca, we've never done this before.

For the first time ever, it's an emergency Patreon episode.

I feel like we need a siren sound effect.

We do.

The claxon is firing.

Part of this is we're not going to have a new show for a while, and by that time it'll be a little old, but people have actually emailed us. We put it on Instagram and people are like,

there's the first thing I thought of was you guys when I saw this. Yeah, this came out last Friday.

Late in the day, Barack Obama dropped his favorite books of 2024. Friday afternoon,

not the time for big news, my friend. And it was, as I wrote in today in books,

there were gasps heard around the bookternet because this is not the Barack Obama end of

year list that anyone was expecting based on how he's done it in the past. So we're going to do

20, 25 minutes on the Barack Obama. Right now, if you're listening in the feed as a preview,

it's going to cut out. This is it. Thank you so much for listening to the show writ large.

If you want to hear the rest of this, you can do Patreon. There's a bunch of other stuff there.

The winter draft is coming out. I'm going to try to crash this to be out, you know,

really soon after I'm recording it. Thank you so much. But to hear the rest, it's Patreon time. Here we go. And at Patreon, you can also

hear us predict what Obama's list was going to be. So you'll be able to really see. Because that was

prescient in all kinds of ways. How wrong we were. Thanks so much for listening. Join us at
