Recommendations

\\n\\n

\\n
• Brandon: JUST ONE MILE | Official Trailer
\\n
• Matt: Deadloch
\\n
• Cot\\xe9: Rick Rubin interviews Rory Sutherland. I doubt much of the airport business book stuff in here is \\u201ctrue,\\u201d but that\\u2019s sort of the whole point, and it\\u2019s fantastic listening. His book Alchemy has a great one word review right there in the title. But, again: it\\u2019s fun! When you\\u2019ve listened to too much If Books Could Kill you can check in on Rory if you need to take the cure.
