For years Doug Cochrane and Justin Strandlund have been good friends and frequent improv partners. They share a love of debating any topic, although their discussions usually come back around to two things: movies and space. Their most infamous debate involved a 2 hour discussion (while at work) about the actual possibility of time travel and it's potential ramifications on mankind; this included a full diagram drawn on a wall-sized whiteboard. Time well spent. MindGap is what happens when they sit together in front of a microphone and press record.

Marlon and Jake Read Dead People is a podcast hosted by the Man Booker Prize-winning and internationally bestselling author Marlon James and his editor, Jake Morrissey, Executive Editor at Riverhead Books. In each episode, Marlon and Jake talk about authors—specifically dead authors. Authors they like. Authors they hate. Great books, terrible books, and books they love that you’d never expect them to. As a writer and an editor, Marlon and Jake have read thousands of books between them, and they’re not shy in expressing their opinions about them. Sometimes they’ll agree, sometimes they won’t, but in every episode, they’ll tell you what they think— uncensored and with no holds barred. (That’s why the authors have to be dead.) So, listen along to hear about the spectacularly good, the hilariously bad, and the brutally honest.

Join me, David Porter, as I read through my newest novel, FIVE MINUTES TO LIVE, releasing a new chapter each week. https://www.amazon.com/Five-Minutes-Live-David-Porter/dp/1637520506 About the book: Matt Davenport is an everyday good guy, happy to support his friend and secret crush, Jessica. So when she asks him to be her plus-one at a dinner where she'll be giving a talk about ground-breaking new science, Matt is expecting a fun-but normal-night. But their night on the town is anything but normal. Their ride is interrupted by a car collision-and a kidnapping-as Jessica is torn from the wreck and dragged away. Suddenly, Matt finds himself in a race to save his friend and protect her scientific discovery, alongside a stranger with mysterious ties to Israel's Mossad. The chase takes Matt from the U.S. to Tel Aviv, facing mercenaries and enemies at every turn. As he struggles to decipher clues that will lead him to his friend, it becomes clear that Jessica's scientific discovery poses a threat to Israel's security, one that dangerous people want to exploit. To rescue his friend and prevent the science from falling into the wrong hands, Matt has to figure out who to trust...especially the small voice inside him that's trying to guide him to Jessica and safety...before it's too late.

This is a story about life. This is a story about light. This is a story of how some men are the product of their lives, and some are the prisoners of the choices they have made. This is a story about sin. Joseph Leighton is on the cusp of adulthood, his university days stretching before him with the luxury of rose-tinted foresight. David Leighton is Joseph's father, a grumpy, vicious sour man. Or is he a snake-hipped guitar god, with a shot at the big time? John Leighton is Joseph's grandfather, a wise and genial old gent. Or is he David's father, trying so hard, and failing to understand his son? Or is he his own man, who made his own choices long ago? The Sins of the Fathers spans different lives, all woven from the same threads, but every life is different, every pattern has been made its own. The Sins of the Fathers are those things you wish you had never known.
