Back in May I had the pleasure of nerding out with the ever-brilliant David Chalian (@davidchalian) about my book “SNAFU: The Definitive Guide to History’s Greatest Screwups” on my book tour at Sixth & I (@sixthandi). Guess what: you can now listen to it on the Sixth & I podcast! Check it out for my take on one of my favorite stories from the book: how Jimmy Carter stopped the first nuclear meltdown in history… and had radioactive urine as a result.

Calling all readers in the UK! 🇬🇧

Exciting news — my audiobook “SNAFU: The Definitive Guide to History’s Greatest Screwups” is now on sale via Apple UK! Written and narrated by yours truly, it’s your chance to explore some of history’s most gloriously ridiculous screwups - like the CIA’s ill-fated mission to turn cats into spies. Yes you read that right. Spoiler alert: the cats were very uncooperative. 

This is a limited-time offer thru July 15, so grab it at the link in bio before it disappears quicker than the English Breakfast at the Boston Tea Party! (Too soon?)

Bit of a stretch from “god is love” but ok! Robert sits down with @edhelms to discuss one of our worst monsters: David Berg, founder of the Children of God cult. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
