What's Tom Reading? - Episode 17 - T: The Story of Testosterone
play

01/15/22 • 56 min

Hi guys! Today I am talking about the excellent non-fiction book called "T: The Story of Testosterone, the Hormone that Dominates and Divides Us" by Dr. Carole Hooven. This book was a highly-educational overview of endocrinology and evolutionary biology delivered in a surprisingly entertaining package. It was full of very interesting facts about the way testosterone shapes both man and animal alike and how it impacts the world we live in. I loved this book, and I think you'll get a kick out of learning about it.

Episode 18 - Red Notice

What's Tom Reading?

play

01/21/22 • 58 min

Hi guys! Today I am talking about the political thriller, "Red Notice: A True Story of High Finance, Murder, and One Man's Quest for Justice" by Bill Browder. This book is a look behind the curtain into the gangster oligarchs running Russia from behind the scenes, how they seized power after the fall of the Soviet Union during the era of privatization, and how Vladimir Putin rose to become the kingpin of the whole thing. The book was written by an American who finds himself caught up in a political struggle between all these parties, has a good friend murdered, and ends up on an Interpol most-wanted "Red Notice" board. The Russians want him bad, and if you want to know why, you'll have to listen to this episode! I think you'll get a kick out of it.

Ever wonder where all this vampire stuff started? Well, wonder no more because today we are talking about Bram Stoker's Dracula, the grand-daddy of all vampire stories. If you picture a vampire (that isn't a Twilight vampire) then you are most likely picturing a creature inspired by this book.
