Ep. 45 Book Club #1: John D. MacDonald’s Deep Blue Good-By
On a very special episode, Jeff and Brian are joined by Tirzah and Emily, angry millennials who happen to be women, to talk about Travis McGee, boat-bum, swinger, and protagonist of our first book club episode. A product of his time or sexual predator? No one will agree! And Brian disappears into the hedges!
