Now, 15 years after the Big Short's original release, and a decade after it became an Academy Award-winning movie, I've recorded an audiobook edition for the very first time.

Get The Big Short now at pushkin.fm slash audiobooks, or wherever audiobooks are sold.

Like this first one titled, I'd split my copay with you.
