The Big Short is Big Back

Michael Lewis introduces a companion podcast series for his book, "The Big Short," which details the 2008 financial crisis. He explains that the series, "Against the Rules," will feature interviews with individuals from the book, such as hedge fund manager Steve Eisman and his team, to revisit the events and their lasting impact. The podcast will explore how the crisis reshaped the world, including its influence on American politics and the rise of figures like Donald Trump, while also examining the process of storytelling itself. Lewis encourages listeners to get the newly narrated audiobook of "The Big Short" and join the weekly podcast episodes starting October 14th.
