Dog-eared and Cracked

The Night of the Gun

Autumn
Dog-eared and Cracked
09/18/21 • 27 min
Autumn, a collection of essays by Karl Ove Knausgaard, is Jay's pick on this episode.
Will the book become Phil's gateway drug to other Knausgaard collections or do Autumn's leaves blow away in the wind of criticism? (That sounded better in my head)
And how does Phil manage to bring baseball into the conversation...yet again?

The 50th Law
Dog-eared and Cracked
02/01/21 • 35 min
Jay recommends The 50th Law by Robert Greene and 50 Cent, to Phil this time and they discuss their love of the book. Well, one of them does anyway. Spoiler alert, Phil is no prince to this book though he does thank Jay for the opportunity to have caught up on his sleep while reading it. Somewhere in the midst of this discourse, Jay tries to impress the listener by name dropping and then realizes he cannot correctly pronounce the name of the Czech philosopher, Mihaly Csikszentmihaly.

The Utility of Boredom
Dog-eared and Cracked
07/07/20 • 25 min
The Utility of Boredom by Andrew Forbes. This time, Phil picks a love letter written for the sport of baseball. Jay reads it and deftly avoids any hackneyed baseball expressions in his review. Listen in as metaphors are mixed and names are dropped. Will enough free throws result in a touch down in the third period of this podcast?
Knowledge of Angels
Dog-eared and Cracked
08/27/21 • 37 min
Jay drags out every philosophy and theology book he owns to try and keep up with Phil on this one. Turns out Knowledge of Angels involves a child raised by wolves, a shipwrecked atheist and a Grand Inquisitor. Spoiler alert, he's not called the Grand Inquisitor because he's a really good listener.
