In this week's P.O. Box:

A few random thoughts this week…

Pluribus. I was very excited for the new Vince Gilligan show starring Rhea Seehorn on Apple TV. The pilot was incredible…and then I really disliked the massive tonal shift in the second episode. I won’t spoil anything, even the premise, because it was a lot of fun to go in blind. I’ll see how I feel after watching the third ep.

Guest spots. I normally don’t have too much bandwidth to do extra shows in-season, but enjoyed squeezing in two guest spots yesterday:

Eliminator update. I lost my final team in the main Eliminator contest last week, although I do still have one team in the Big contest. Loved the format, though, and can’t wait to do even more next year.

🏃 Book #9 for November (25%): The Splendid and the Vile by Erik Larson.

Enjoying this so far but not ripping through it as quickly as I’d hoped. Partly because I’m not reading as much at night and partly because it’s not as gripping as some of the other Larson stories.
