Medallion Status: True Stories from Secret Rooms

I've been a fan of John Hodgman since his Daily Show days, and I thought, “Oh yeah, this should be a nice, fun audiobook for an upcoming car trip!” Smash cut to me SOBBING down the highway, to the point where I considered pulling over so I didn't get into a tear-induced accident. (Luckily traffic was light.)

(On that note: CW for animal death ;_;)

I'm glad I waited until after the 2020 election to listen to this because whew it really brought me back to that extremely depressing post-2016 mindset in a heartbreaking way. (And yes I know things are still bad etc etc but also, whew.)

Anyway, if you're a Hodgman fan you will likely enjoy this. If you're not already a fan of his I could see his whole “concerned about my straight white male privilege” deal being tiring tbh? But I think he is sincere and thoughtful and I like him.
