Michael Lewis goes to Washington!

Who better to shine a light into the shadows of the nation's capital in the age of Trump than the best-selling author of Liar's Poker and The Big Short?

In this audio investigation - unavailable in book form - Lewis narrates his 2018 report from Washington originally published in Bloomberg View. From inside the White House press room - which Lewis describes as having "the cramped, uncared-for feel of a public toilet" - to a balcony overlooking "a sea of white people" in the Trump International Hotel, to Steve Bannon's Capitol Hill townhouse, where he joins the former campaign CEO to watch the State of the Union address, Lewis takes listeners on an unforgettable behind-the-scenes tour.

This is a new format, and I like it. Instead of reading a 5000 word article I can listen to it. Was that worth $3? Yes. Not worth a full credit on audible so just buy it outright.

Great short form audio

This insightful work by Lewis runs just under one hour, it is both entertaining and informative and the hour flies by. As for the state of the presidency, that is another story. The picture Lewis paints is sad and depressing.

Sad, depressing, but insightful as always by Lewis

Not to be confused with his books this is a straightforward reading of an article he published. There is one story being told in a linear fashion. If you know and like Michael Lewis's work he has published in magazines you will probably like this too.

I greatly enjoy and respect Lewis's work and love when he reads his own material. In this narrative his partisian politicks come out highly focused in one direction. He clearly is in a tunnel vision mode, he can see nearly no good - with a hyper focus on the bad. It reminds me of people who could see no good in Obama's politics. Come on Michael -- you can do better (don't follow the crowd).

Lewis has tunnel vision
