<p>On this weeks episode of Book(ish) I sit down with journalist and author James Weir to talk I Was Told There'd Be Cake by Sloan Crosley. Our conversation includes the invention of a horrible new word, how cultural commentary stays the same even though the culture changes, and watching the youths and reporting back to the oldies.
