Baseball isn't everyone's "thing" but I'm going to hype this. The space is more like a sports bar/arcade. Comes with a $30 food/beverage/merchandise voucher. Grad student tickets only cost $25...do the math #SHAFR2024

It was a real pleasure to join Miranda Melcher on the @NewBooksNetwork podcast to talk about my book! I spoke not only about the big ideas of the book but also some of the stories, and even the process of writing the book itself. Listen here: newbooksnetwork.com/made-in-china
