Episode 388: Joe Posnanski, Author of The Life and Afterlife of Harry Houdini

Author and sportswriter Joe Posnanski joins Rebecca Weston on the show to discuss his new book The Life and Afterlife of Harry Houdini.

Ninety percent of what we know about Houdini isn’t true. Ten percent is true and fascinating in it’s own way, but the 90% that isn’t true is also fascinating and telling because you want it to be true.
— Joe Posnanski
