He Repaired My Marriage And Then We Lost Him Forever - Mike Maimone
I got fired from the White House, my marriage was falling apart, and the guy who talked me off the ledge was my publicist, Howard Bragman, a man so full of life he'd call you 'numbnuts' one minute and heal your family the next. On this episode of Open Book, musician Mike Maimone tells me what it was like to love Howard, lose him, and turn that grief into the most honest book I've read all year. Mike Maimone is a singer-songwriter, pianist, and producer. He has written and published more than two hundred songs, many heard on TV, in movies, and on the radio. He has played festivals such as Lollapalooza, headlined legendary venues like the Metro and the Troubador, performed on keys with Stevie Wonder, and toured in support of OK Go, Plain White T's, Blues Traveler, and more. I loved his late husband, Howard Bragman, and I loved this book, Guess What? I Love You , which I recommend you pick up ASAP. Anthony Scaramucci is the founder and managing partner of SkyBridge, a global alternative investment firm, and founder and chairman of SALT, a global thought leadership forum and venture studio.

The Heartbreaking Atrocity of The Ukraine War (And Why You Should Care) - James Verini
After reading his book on the war in Ukraine, you will understand the significance of this conflict as you never have before. Putin thought he could topple Kyiv in days and convinced himself Ukraine wasn't even a real country, and he could not have made a dumber decision. This is an immensely important subject and a powerful conversation, and I hope everyone listens to it. James Verini writes for The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, and National Geographic, among other publications. His journalism has received a National Magazine Award and a George Polk Award. He is the author of They Will Have to Die Now, about the battle that brought down ISIS. I say it on the podcast and will say it here: this book is seminal, heartbreaking, and a beautiful work of reporting.

The Truth About Guns In America They Don't Want You To Know! - Mike McIntire
Three-time Pulitzer winner Mike McIntire joins me to talk about his new book Ricochet (out today), and this one hit me hard. We've got more guns than people in this country, and I wanted to know how we got here and why we can't fix it. Mike broke down the NRA's radicalization, the Second Amendment fight all the way to the Supreme Court, and why Bobby Kennedy's assassination still echoes through this debate today. Trust me, you don't want to miss this one. Mike McIntire is an investigative reporter, author, and editor. As a member of the investigations unit at The New York Times, he shared Pulitzer Prizes in 2022 for reporting on the hidden financial incentives behind police traffic stops, and in 2017 for reporting on covert Russian interference in the US presidential election.

Russia Expert: Putin Destroyed Democracy And Trump's Doing It Too - Jamison Firestone
Putin weaponized the justice system; he went after the media, the universities, and even pulled a comedy show off the air because it made fun of him. On this episode of Open Book, I sit down with Jamison Firestone, a guy who survived mobsters, bugged the Russian police, and watched his friend Sergei Magnitsky get tortured and killed for exposing the truth. We talk Yeltsin, Putin, Navalny, and yes, I ask him what Putin actually has on Trump. His answer might surprise you. Jamison Firestone established the first independent foreign law firm in Russia, where he lived for eighteen years. He was a member of the board of Directors of the American Chamber of Commerce in Russia for the last six of those. He is a co-founder, along with Sir William Browder, of the Global Magnitsky Justice Campaign, which created the Magnitsky human rights and anti-corruption sanctions regimes. He also ran the Navalny 35 campaign promoting the sanctioning of corrupt oligarchs and officials identified by Alexei Navalny. He currently works to seize Russian state assets for the benefit of Ukraine and has been featured on the BBC, Bloomberg, and CBC, as well as in several documentaries.
