In Episode 97 of Books and Booze we get together with Bracken MacLeod for one hell of an episode. We cover everything from the brutal reality of practicing law, to being the big scary tattooed guy in the suburbs, while bouncing around on deep topics like the significance of choosing a beautiful suicide over a quick and efficient one, the desperate need for gallows humor in the toughest jobs, and much more. This episode has it all - we laughed hard and had some moments of introspection, too. Don't miss it.
