After an update from Chad about his trip to London and Amsterdam, he and Tom break down the National Book Award for Translated Literature longlist, exposing their general ignorance along the way. (They've read, combined, like two of the ten titles?) Also, sure are a lot of Penguin Random House books on these longlists! They also talk a bit about future podcast, rave about Lawrence Ventuti's new book, and much more. This week's music is "Insecurity" by Metronomy.
