The Complete Guide to Everything

This week we celebrate the life and work of Michael "Mick" Jagger, a man who has been strutting around making pouty faces for 80 years. Although he dropped out of the London School of Economics to sing songs and do drugs, he became a billionaire anyway. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hollywood has had enough and gone on strike! Where will we get our TV shows from now?  Why aren’t billionaires happy with being billionaires? What about puppeteers? We’ll answer these questions, whether Tom needed to honk for some guy, and more. For weekly episodes of Books: The Podcast and much, much more check out the TCGTE Patreon! Like the show?
