This week's podcast features a discussion of Nobel Prize-winner Svetlana Alexievich (who Chad helped publish at Dalkey Archive), Amazon's recent announcement about investing $10 million into translations, and how rights work. There's a minor rant about Chase Utley ("worst human being on earth") and a little bit of baseball talk. In honor of the Mets in the World Series (and Cubs making the post-season), this week's music is "Been So Long" by Win Win.
