Reviewing The Last Trial
Scott Turow’s The Last Trial is billed as the final courtroom battle of 85-year-old defense lawyer Alejandro (Sandy) Stern. As a fan of Turow’s novels and Stern, who has appeared in all of them, I was conflicted as I began the book. While I recognize characters, like real people, must retire and even die, I… Continue reading Reviewing The Last Trial

Reviewing Insomnia
I usually like Stephen King’s books. As a person waging a lifelong battle with insomnia, a book involving the insomnia of the main character interested me.
Reviewing Critical
Critical is the seventh book in Robin Cook’s Jack Stapleton & Laurie Montgomery series. I have now read the first seven books in the series. Like the first six, I found Critical both entertaining and somewhat educational.
You Won’t Push Biden Left
The verdict for this episode is: be honest about why you’re voting for Biden. In this episode, I discuss those who say they are voting because they want to remove Trump, but who are promising to move Biden to the left. https://media.blubrry.com/jonathansimeonepodcast/content.blubrry.com/jonathansimeonepodcast/Be_Honest_about_your_vote.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 4:37 — 2.1MB) | Embedsubscribe to… Continue reading You Won’t Push Biden Left

I Don’t Have a Reason
The verdict for this episode is: if I had one or two reasons, I would vote for Biden. In this episode, I discuss the fact that Biden and I agree on no important policy issues. Since we don’t, I don’t have a reason to vote for him. https://media.blubrry.com/jonathansimeonepodcast/content.blubrry.com/jonathansimeonepodcast/I_don_t_have_a_reason.mp3Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration:… Continue reading I Don’t Have a Reason

Thoughts on the Climate Fires
I know most people refer to the fires raging up and down the West coast as wildfires, but they are actually climate fires. Humans are the reason so much is being destroyed. Humans are the reason so many animals are being killed. Humans are the reason the air is so terrible. Humans are the reason… Continue reading Thoughts on the Climate Fires
Reviewing The People No
Thomas Frank’s The People No: A Brief History of Anti-Populism was an easy, entertaining read.
Reviewing the Price of Peace
The Price of Peace is Zachary Carter’s look at the life and ideas of economist John Maynard Keynes. While economics can often be a boring subject, I found The Price of Peace to be an important, educational read.
