Episode 82 features author Jimmy Soni, co-author of A Mind At Play about Claude Shannon and The Founders about the founding of Paypal and the evolution of the PayPal Mafia.

Throughout the conversation, we discuss:
- Writing about the dead vs. writing about the living
- Historical research
- Research processes
- Going Dark
- Stumbling into a book
- Creating a firewall for current events
- Method writing
- Creative motives change as you do them
- A Night to Remember by Walter Lord

- And much more
