I've lately discovered the podcast version of NPR radio show Wits, hosted by John Moe. It's a radio show that's part game show, part skit show, part swirling mass of randomness, and part music show. Guests have included Aimee Mann, Neil Gaiman, David Cross, George Takei, and many other humorists and musicians I like.
However, I found he also wrote a book titled Dear Luke, We Need To Talk. Darth. A common feature of the radio show is "pop song correspondences" where he writes letters or tells a story from someone connected to a song you might not be aware about. Perhaps you wanted to hear the side of the manager of the Hotel California, or the contractor trying to install an actual stairway to heaven in a house.
This book is like that, but it reaches across all of pop culture, presenting ideas you haven't necessarily thought of before, but might change how you view things forever.
