Episode 309: Jeanne Marie Laskas
Jeanne Marie Laskas writes for GQ and the New York Times Magazine. Her new book is To Obama: With Love, Joy, Anger, and Hope.\n\n\u201cI hate saying this out loud, but it\u2019s true: I\u2019m really shy. Fundamentally, I'm 100% scared most of the time. I\u2019m scared and wondering how I can not be noticed because I don\u2019t know what to say and I\u2019m shy. If you say I\u2019m a good listener, that's why \u2026 I become more invisible so I\u2019m more comfortable.\u201d\n\nThanks to MailChimp, Techmeme Ride Home Podcast, and Pitt Writers for sponsoring this week's episode.\n\n\n@jmlaskas\n\n\nLongform Podcast #9: Jeanne Marie Laskas\n\n\nLaskas on Longform\n\n\njeannemarielaskas.com\n\n\n[2:10] Concussion (Random House \u2022 2015)\n\n\n[2:20] To Obama: With Love, Joy, Anger, and Hope (Random House \u2022 2018)\n\n\n[2:30] "To Obama With Love, and Hate, and Desperation" (New York Times Magazine \u2022 Jan 2017)\n\n\n[23:20] "Have You Heard the One About President Joe Biden?"
