Charlie Marder is an unlikely congressman. Thrust into office by his family ties after his predecessor died mysteriously, Charlie is struggling to navigate the dangerous waters of 1950s Washington, DC, alongside his young wife, Margaret, a zoologist with ambitions of her own. Amid the swirl of glamorous and powerful political leaders and deal makers, a mysterious fatal car accident thrusts Charlie and Margaret into an underworld of backroom deals, secret societies, and a plot that could change the course of history.

Historia4 out of 5 stars 28
Gazing into the bathroom mirror one morning while shaving, Josh Kornbluth realizes that he looks remarkably like the guy on the $100 bill. Like any good Jewish son, he immediately calls his mother. From there he becomes obsessed with what it means to be a founding father, especially when your own father/son relationship (Ben had an illegitimate son named William who was a British loyalist during the Revolutionary War) is more than a bit strained.

Josh's Franklin
Revisado: 02-24-15
What did you love best about Ben Franklin: Unplugged?
Surprise, that is the first thing I felt when I listened to Josh Kornbluth's Ben Franklin Unplugged. Not at the quality of the writing or the delivery (I have seen Josh in concert), but the approach. I was expecting a Hal Holbrook-kind of presentation but what I got was more. Ben Franklin is like a mini-odyssey. From an off-hand remark by a relative, Josh looks for Franklin in history and in himself. It is both personal and universal. This is a good listen. Interesting. Entertaining.
What other book might you compare Ben Franklin: Unplugged to and why?
I do have a confession. I broke one of the cardinal rules in entertainment. I listened to Martin Short's I Must Say right after listening to Ben Franklin. I must say, I enjoyed Short's book, but it was not the same. I made more of a connection with Josh's Franklin than I did with Martin's Short.
Which scene was your favorite?
Hard to say. Enjoyed it all.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The theme of father and son.

What made the experience of listening to The New New Rules the most enjoyable?
It was fun to be reminded again of his New Rules.
What did you like best about this story?
Bill Maher's New Rule can be the best part of his show. Maher has a comic timing and phrasing that I like.
Have you listened to any of Bill Maher’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes, about the same.
Any additional comments?
The New Rules are really old New Rules from his show. It would have been better if there had been some new New Rules. But maybe, I have my head up my....
