coming soon: john hodgman

Little did I know that when John Hodgman‘s More Information Than You Require was published last October, the wait for the audiobook would feel longer than waiting for, um, a virus-ridden PC to load. At long last, the audiobook comes out next week, and the folks at Penguin were nice enough to share with us this appetite-whetting little 10-minute teaser. Listen here! It features Hodgman doing what Hodgman does best–being irreverent and smart alecky and hilarious. And he has extra help from a star-studded group of friends including Paul Rudd, Ricky Gervais, Ira Glass and Rachel Maddow. Quite the nerd dream team, right? So hold tight, fans of The Areas of My Expertise: Hodgman’s first book of unessential knowledge was just the tip of the fake factoid iceberg. More quips and trivia and almanac-style lists from The Daily Show‘s Resident Expert are on the way!
