Reasons Revisited

190. THE PREMONITION: a conversation with Michael Lewis

Hello! We’re incredibly excited to be talking to one of our favourite authors, Michael Lewis, about his new book, The Premonition: A Pandemic Story. He explores what went wrong in the US response to coronavirus through the lives of a number of people at the heart of pandemic planning. We chat to Michael about what he discovered, his approach to writing, and how he finds such compelling characters for his books. Listen to our conversation with Michael from last year about The Fifth Risk: <a href="https://pod.fo/e/13600" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://pod.fo/e/13600</a> Hosted on Acast.
